    Serifs are by products of the technology used to write them (stone, ink, etc) & are merely the on and off ramps to get to the real meat of it, & they are zero more.

    Might even go so far to say they’re a waste of pixels and therefore energy. Fight me 😜

        I doubt that*. Serifs just add pixels to the labor of recognition. Serif fonts can’t reduce as small as the sans serifs, making them bad for things like iPhones 🤷‍♂️

        *maybe I’d believe a decent study if you’ve got a decent source (stat sig N, clear funding source, etc)
