sans serif fonts

Letters without feet

Sans serif fonts are typefaces whose letters lack the small decorative strokes (serifs) at the ends of their main strokes.

The name comes from French: sans meaning "without." These fonts—like Helvetica, Arial, and Futura—have a clean, modern appearance and are widely used for digital screens and signage, where their simple lines remain legible at small sizes.
