Serifs can be a good thing for readability! I don’t know that the creator’s choice to force sans-serif was ideal here.

- paulryanrogers 6y agoWhen I was taught design in the early oughts they said serif for print and sans for screens. I think it had to do with rendering at lower resolutions and small screen sizes.
- kuschku 6y agoIndeed, if you've ever had the chance to compare serifs on a 96dpi and a 170dpi monitor, or even 300dpi, it's absolutely incredible. At those resolutions serifs are absolutely awesome - but I'll never use them at lower resolutions again.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoI think ideally, your browser should have a default serif, sans-serif, and monospace font, and websites should default to using it. I think there are useful cases for each style, but we really need not download seven fonts every time we load a website.
