Huruf “Serif-Old Style”
Old style is not necessarily old, but has characteristics
that classify it as "old" or of the classic form.
Old Style is a style of font developed by
Renaissance typographers to replace the Blackletter style
of type. Based on ancient Roman inscriptions, these fonts
are generally characterized by low contrast between thick
and thin strokes, bracketed serifs, and a left-leaning axis
or stress.

Garamond
1.
Claude Garamond
Born c. 1480 in Paris, France, died 1561 in Paris, France.
Type founder, publisher, punch cutter, type designer.
In the 1600s by Claude Garamond, Garamond is considered one
of the archetypes of old style fonts. Notice the pennant like
serifs flying from the ascenders, the slight backward slant of the
Os, and the lack of contrast between the thin parts and the
thick parts of the letters.

Fred Goudy
Born 8. 3. 1865 in Bloomington, USA, died 11. 5. 1947 in Malboroughon-Houdson, USA – type designer, typographer, publisher, teacher.
Goudy was an active type cutter in the middle of the twentieth century. This old
style font, attributed to him, was cut in the 1940s. Notice the similarities
between this font and Garamond. This font has a graceful bracket (the curving
line that connects the serif with the main line) on the serifs, making them
appear even more pennant-like. This implementation from the 1940s shows a
little thicker wide stroke that gives a little higher contrast between thick and
thin strokes than the earlier Garamond.

Summary
 Well defined, shapely serifs.
 Diagonal emphasis. Imagine drawing a font with a
fountain pen, where lines 45 degrees anticlockwise from
vertical are heavy and lines 45 degrees clockwise from
vertical are light. Old style fonts often have this
appearance.
