These type faces are also known as novelty faces and are primarily designed to be used for a word or
words in display or headings and as such are not suited to text setting.
One kind of decorative type face seeks to create a mood and is therefore highly emotive, another
kind is designed to represent something else: computer printouts, baseball bats, balloons, etc. The
majority of these types are designed as a single font only with perhaps only a handful containing a
small family such as normal, bold and outline.
Examples are: Critter, Rosewood and Jokerman
