Why to avoid serif fonts.
I’ve always preferred clean lines; a clean desk, minimalist design,Ariel Narrow, Calibri.
People often have strong opinions on fonts, I don’t know why, but it can cause outrage. There are websites out there dedicated to the criminalisation of comic sans.
It turns out there is a very good reason for sticking to the elegant simplicity of sans serif fonts. (These are fonts without the fussy tails, flicks, edges or twirls that you find in traditional print fonts such as Times New Roman or Georgia.)
The simple reason is that these fonts are much easier for dyslexic people to read.
Might be worth considering the next time you design a PowerPoint deck, an assessment or even a poster.
