Petit-serif
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Petit-serifs are small serifs, which are attached to regular sans-serif fonts.[citation needed]These are normally added to fonts from rival font foundries to give them a better appearance and to reward the people who added the petit-serifs.
An example of this is Johnston.[citation needed]Petit-serifs were added to this font, but Frank Pick chose to stay with the original design (later modified).[citation needed]
