Fonts - Serif and Sans Serif

Hello Reader!
Second week of the college has started and now we had started learning things.
Today our teacher defined us the two types of fonts "Serif" and "Sans Serif" and had a discussion on them.
We learned many things eg. how they look and what are the main differences between them.

They both were defined as the following definition:

  1. Sans Serif
    In typography, a sans-serif, sans serif, gothic, san serif or simply sans typeface is one that does not have the small projecting features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. The term comes from the French word sans, meaning "without" and "serif" from the Dutch word schreef meaning "line". Sans-serif fonts tend to have less line width variation than serif fonts.
  2. Serif
    In typography, a serif is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface).
Now we have something creative to do. We are assigned to make a presentation on "Fonts" so I will be making and presenting a presentation in my next post. See you later.

Thanks :D
