Editing Serif (section)

==== Dutch taste ====
A new genre of serif type developed around the 17th century in the Netherlands and Germany that came to be called the "Dutch taste" ({{lang|fr|goût Hollandois}} in [[French language|French]]).<ref name="Dutch Taste Johnson" /> It was a tendency towards denser, more solid typefaces, often with a high [[x-height]] (tall lower-case letters) and a sharp contrast between thick and thin strokes, perhaps influenced by blackletter faces.<ref name="Printing Types vol 2">{{cite book|last1=Updike|first1=Daniel Berkeley|title=Printing Types: Their History, Forms and Uses: Volume 2|date=1922|publisher=Harvard University Press|pages=[https://archive.org/details/printingtypesthe02updi/page/6 6]–7|url=https://archive.org/details/printingtypesthe02updi|access-date=18 December 2015|chapter=Chapter 15: Types of the Netherlands, 1500-1800}}</ref><ref name="typo-history-1">{{cite web|url=https://typofonderie.com/gazette/post/type-history-1/|work=Typofonderie Gazette|title=Type History 1|access-date=23 December 2015|archive-date=23 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151223141313/https://typofonderie.com/gazette/post/type-history-1/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Dutch Taste Johnson">{{cite journal|last=Johnson|first=A.

Adopting a term used by Fournier le jeune, the style is sometimes called the 'Dutch taste', and sometimes, especially in Germany, 'baroque'. Some names associated with the style are those of Van den Keere, Granjon, Briot, Van Dijck, Kis (maker of the so-called 'Janson' types), and [[William Caslon|Caslon]].|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009181144/http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/sites/default/files/files/LRBS/Outline%20of%20Course_Type%26itsUses2013_2.pdf|archive-date=9 October 2016}}</ref><ref name="The Briot project.
