In typography and lettering, a sans-serif, sans serif, gothic, or simply sans letterform is one that does not have extending features called "serifs" at the end of strokes.

Sans-serif fonts tend to have less line width variation than serif fonts.

In most print, they are often used for headings rather than for body text.

They are often used to convey simplicity and modernity or minimalism.

In metal typesetting, a font is a particular of a typeface.

Each font was a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consisting of a range of fonts that shared an overall design.

In typography, a serif is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol.

A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface).

A typeface without serifs is called sans-serif or sans serif, from the French sans, meaning "without".

Some typography sources refer to sans-serif typefaces as "Grotesque" (in German "grotesk") or "Gothic", and serif typefaces as "Roman".

In typography, a typeface (also known as font family) is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs that share common design features.

Each font of a typeface has a specific weight, style, condensation, width, slant, italicization, ornamentation, and designer or foundry (and formerly size, in metal fonts).

For example, "ITC Garamond Bold Condensed Italic" means the bold, condensed-width, italic version of ITC Garamond.

It is a different font from "ITC Garamond Condensed Italic" and "ITC Garamond Bold Condensed," but all are fonts within the same typeface, "ITC Garamond." ITC Garamond is a different typeface from "Adobe Garamond" or "Monotype Garamond." (These are all alternative updates or digitisations of the typeface Garamond, originally created in the 16th century).

Script typefaces are based upon the varied and often fluid stroke created by handwriting.

They are generally used for display or trade printing, rather than for extended body text in the Latin alphabet.

Some Greek alphabet typefaces, especially historically, have been a closer simulation of handwriting.
