History

Advertising needs striking, the product matching typefaces. There were often used decorative typefaces made by graphic or commercial artist.

Features

All typefaces which cannot be assigned due to the stroke and other typeface features to the other roman typefaces are part of the Decorative and Display category. Conspicuousness or a decorative nature is authoritative. A good readability isn't put in the foreground. Capital letter fonts (only capital letters) also fall into this category.
