First, the high pressure is a area of increased air pressure, you'll get

great weather from a high pressure system. It would be represented with a blue "H" on a weather map.

Second, a cold front is defined as a leading edge of a cold mass of air, they are normally stronger in autumn and spring. It is represented with a blue line with triangles pointed the direction the front is traveling.

Is a stationary front a low pressure system or a high pressure system?

Fronts being the boundaries between two air masses - one warmer than the other - they are named for whichever air mass is advancing on the other. Cold air pushes in behind a cold front, and likewise a warm front has colder air retreating. If the boundary has stalled and neither air mass is pushing back the other, you have a stationary front.
