I'm working on this typeface and I'm not sure if it would be considered a serif. I've heard the terms semi-serif and modified serif refer to a variety of fonts.. do you think this face falls under either of those categories? Thanks for the feedback in advance.

sorry - how is that not slab?

I guess what timg is pretty much as best of a classification you can get for that.
I really like the the S and the G.

Yeah I got confused when it came to categorizing... I kinda like semi-slab, that pretty much says it. Thanks!

Its not a full slab seing as the bottom dosnt have the traditional setup of serifs which theoretically would carry the persons eye across the line of type with them grounding the forms to the baseline. Thats why I sort of agree with timg.
I would have to agree with setsolid about it being more a display face now that i think more about it.

The Slab serifs are horizontal serfs, not slanted as in oldstyle faces or other ways. look at it again. yes u can say the "Z" in the font is a slab... but the rest... are very much mix style.

Nice work.
Is the bottom left of the D different from the rest on purpose?

the image is a few weeks old, i fixed that, among other things. good eye.

talking about the "Z" skelly... try to improve the consitancy of the "Z" better with the rest...
but again, good job :)
