Serif fonts have small decorative lines or "feet" at the ends of letters and are generally easier to read for long-form text like books. Sans-serif fonts do not have these decorative lines and are often used for headings, websites, and other instances where readability is not the primary focus. The terms "serif" and "sans-serif" come from the Dutch and French words meaning "with" and "without" referring to the presence or absence of these small letter feet.
