There have been extensive
studies on type to determine which factors influence
different aspects
of reading, such as reading speed, retention of
information,
recognition of letterforms, etc. Interestingly, these
studies show that
in our culture and in our era, serif typefaces are easier
to read when
there is a lot of text, but sans serif letterforms are
more instantly
recognizable when there is a small amount of text. Sans
serif
characters tend to be direct and clear, with no serifs to
add
unnecessary tidbits to the shape.
