Sans- Serif Vs Serif.

Nearly all fonts can be divided into two groups, Serif and Sans- Serif. There is one basic difference that can divine a font from these groups this is the curves at the end of each letter, Know as 'feet. For example a Sans-Serif font such as 'Arial' has no feet however a Serif font such as 'Courier' does have the 'feet' at on each letter.

The reason behind the difference is so that one may be able to use it for different purposes in turn also defining the purpose or perhaps formality of a text. As an example if one is writing a document that you’ll print out and give to someone to read you should use a Serif. Whereas if one is sending an email or writing a blog entry you should use a Sans-Serif font this is because its clearer and easier to read.
