> How would one categorize such fonts?

There are two ways I could think of:
1) read PANOSE info embedded into fonts. The biggest drawback is that only a
number of fonts have these information embedded
2) rely on font names and create a curated list which assigns a font name to a
category.

As for categories, the most common and most widely accepted (in my humble
opionion) would be something like:

1) Serif
2) Sans-serif
3) Monospace (can be both serif and sans-serif, but the main feature is
monospace - similar to a classic typewriter)
4) Script
5) Ornamental (non-font graphics, like border ornaments etc.)
6) Symbol
7) Deco (Fonts for Titles etc. Often only one style, or only roman and bold)
