Sans Serif

Sans Serif is a old typeface that became popular in the twentieth century. The word sans mean "without" in French. They called it sans because it has no serifs a the end of the strokes. Sans serif typefaces are mono-weight which means that there is no visible thick and thin transitions in the strokes. The letterforms are the same thickness. Some examples of Sans Serif consist of Antique Olive, Formata, Folio, Franklin Gothic, Futura, Condensed, Syntax, and Helvetica.
