Choosing the right font for your website is so important when
you’re trying to deliver your message in a clear and effective way.
Did you know that all fonts are broken down into two
different categories? Those categories are Serif and Sans-Serif. The difference
between the two is very simple: A Serif is a small line attached
to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. For fonts without a small
line attached to the end are called Sans-Serif. The word “Sans” originates
from the French language, which means without.
