A typeface that uses these small lines is called a serif typeface. A typeface that doesn’t have serifs is called a sans serif typeface. Roman serif fonts are overwhelmingly used in publications with long text passages, such as newspapers, magazines, and books. Roman fonts are not as popular for use on web pages because the screen resolution of some computer monitors is insufficient to render the tiny serifs clearly....
