Are those statements about “eye strain” for serif, sans and sans serif fonts scientific? Every time I see them they are not supplied by evidence but by some mumbo jumbo.
- Sunspark 3y agoYes and no. To a certain extent there is brain familiarity with letter shape, but screen resolution plays a role. Sans fonts are simply more legible on low-resolution displays.

TL;DR: No. The long-standing debate over serif versus sans-serif for readability is likely less important than we thought. Other factors, like the height of the letter or spacing between them, change how easy a text is to read more than the presence or absence of serifs.
