A air front is typically a transition zone between two unique temperature/humidity. Usually, one front would push the other away (typically if summer is hot, then the warm front will push away the cold, and for the winter, if it's cold, it's the opposite).

A stationary front, on the other hand, is when there is no change in the over all temperature for the region(s), and a occluded front is when the fronts mix, where it is followed by rain and a equillibrium of the temperature, whether to a warmer or cooler overall temperature.
