Helvetica
Script—Script typefaces simulate handwriting or brush lettering.
Each letter is connected visually, if not physically. ITC Zapf
Chancery is a script typeface.
Pi or symbol—Pi or symbol typefaces are collections of assorted
special-purpose characters (for example, decorative, graphic,
math, or monetary characters). The phrase pi typeface comes from
the days of handset type. A pi was a letter of one font that
accidentally fell into a drawer of another font. When discovered, it
was thrown into a box with other pies, known as a hell box, to be
sorted out later. They are especially useful for highlighting items
in lists, providing graphics, and displaying symbols that might
otherwise have to be drawn in by hand. Many typefaces today
include a complement of the more commonly used pi characters.
Symbol and ITC Zapf Dingbats are pi typefaces.
