Plain block lettering
Curvy/wavy lettering
Futuristic lettering
Jagged lettering
Could you please describe what 'jagged lettering' looks like? TIA

uneven and angular
Somewhat subjective, but take a look at Google images for "jagged lettering". It should give you an idea.

not the inclination of the character, but the overall shape is irregular and angular.

Reference:
In my Word fonts on this computer I'd say that "Viner Hand ITC" and "Matisse ITC" fonts are jagged - jagged means with sharp pointy bits on the letters.

definitely not the curve of the letters - it refers to the edges, like broken glass can have a jagged edge

What is jagged - the overall curve of an inscription or the edges of its letters?
