sansseriffontteja

Sansserifontteja, known more commonly as sans-serif fonts, are a broad category of typeface characterized by the absence of serifs. Serifs are the small decorative strokes or lines that are typically found at the ends of the main strokes of a letter. In contrast, sans-serif fonts have clean, unadorned letterforms. This makes them appear modern, minimalist, and often more legible at smaller sizes or on digital screens.

The origin of sans-serif fonts can be traced back to the early 19th century, but they gained significant popularity in the 20th century with the rise of modernism and the Bauhaus movement. Designers favored their simplicity and geometric qualities.

Common examples of sans-serif fonts include Helvetica, Arial, Futura, and Open Sans. These fonts are widely used in various applications, from body text in books and magazines to headlines, signage, and user interfaces for websites and applications. Their clean appearance is often associated with clarity, efficiency, and a contemporary aesthetic. The perceived neutrality of sans-serif fonts also makes them a versatile choice for a wide range of design projects.
