There are literally thousands and thousands of font families that have different styles.

Serif — These typefaces are named for the features at the end of their strokes.
Sans-Serif — All of these typefaces have no added feature at the end of their strokes. (No serifs!)
Block / Slab — These typefaces are similar to serif typefaces but the features at the end of the strokes have a block-like appearance.
Script / Handwritten — These typefaces have been around forever and mostly resemble handwritten letters and symbols.
There are many more but when it comes to naming a boat it is probably best to stick with one of these four types.
