LaTeX Font Typeface

There are many typefaces, or font families can be used for typsetting document. These typefaces can be grouped into serif, sans serif, and monspaced.

LaTeX Default Font Family

Computer Modern typeface family, designed by Donald Knuth, is the default font used by $$\LaTeX$$ for typesetting document.And the default font family is Computer Modern Roman (serif type). The others are Computer Modern Sans Serif (sans serif type), and Computer Modern Typewriter (monospaced type).

Default Font Family Example

Code

\documentclass[border=5pt,varwidth]{standalone}
\def\arraystretch{1.3}
\newcommand\resetfont[2]{
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\rmdefault}\normalfont\underline{#2;\ Font Code: #1}\\
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{#1}\normalfont
\sample\\
}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\thefontsize{
The current font identifier is: \fontname\font \\
The current font size is: \f@size pt\\}
\makeatother
\newcommand\sample{\normalfont
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\ \~{}!@\#\$\%\^{}\&*()\_+\\
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789\ \`{}-=\{\}\textbar[]\textbackslash:";'\textless\textgreater?,./
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
\hline

\end{tabular}

\thefontsize

\\\resetfont{\sfdefault}{Computer Modern Sans Serif}
\\\resetfont{\ttdefault}{Computer Modern Typewriter}

\end{document}

Computer Modern Typefaces

Besides the standard Computer Modern typerfaces, more font typefaces are pre-loaded from Computer Modern typeface family, for example, Computer Modern Dunhill Roman, Computer Modern Roman Fibonacci, Computer Modern Sans Serif Quotation, Computer Modern Teletype Quotation, and Computer Modern Typewriter Proportional.
