What is a sans-serif font?

A sans-serif font is a typeface that does not have serifs (decorative lines called “feet” at the end of each letter’s strokes). “Sans” means “without.”

Sans-serif fonts are common in reading materials for early learners, web-based reading materials, and signage. Arial and Verdana are two common sans-serif fonts.

When you’re designing something with letters and want to experiment with different typefaces, try Quillbot’s Image Generator. For example, you can prompt it to make an image of a letter A without serifs and with any type of background.
