Serif and Sans-serif

Serif

  • Serif's are semi-structural details or small decorative flourishes on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols.
  • It is generally believed that Serif fonts make it easier for a reader’s eye to follow the text, particularly when the font needs to be small like in a magazine, newspaper or book.

Sans-serif

  • Sans is a French word that means without, so “sans-serif” means without the curls or small appendixes (feet) that we find at the end of each letter.
  • Sans-serif font style used in websites and electronic screens because it’s generally easier to read these fonts on a screen.
