    Fonts with serifs are particularly useful for large blocks of text. The serifs make it easy for the eye to travel over the text. Many serif fonts are beautifully designed and add a distinctive touch wherever they are used. Most books, newspapers, and magazines use serif fonts for their legibility.
    Serif typefaces tend to be thought of as classic and traditional, whereas sans-serif typefaces are thought of as more modern and contemporary. The fine details of serifs, especially the more delicate and high-contrast designs, don’t always display well on screens, especially at small sizes on low-resolution displays.
    The most popular serif fonts are Times New Roman, Georgia, Garamond, and Didot (to name a few). These fonts are often pre-installed in computers, making them an easy default choice. Brands that use serifs are perceived as traditional, established, and trustworthy to viewers.
