ans
serif typefaces have been around for a long time and actually started
in the early 1800s when William Caslon created a typeface by stripping
off the slab serifs (which he deplored). He was apparently alone because
sans serif fonts didn't catch on for over 100 years.
This
style of typeface confuses people because of it's name. Usually an extra
word is given to indicate that there is something additional. You have
a hamburger and you have a cheeseburger, which is a hamburger with cheese
added to it. Fonts are the opposite. A serif is the little added bit that
sticks out of serif fonts. A sans serif font is one that doesn't have
serifs (sans is French and means "without").
