Abstract
AbstractThis chapter describes the origins of serif and sans serif typefaces in ancient inscriptions and especially in those dating from ancient Rome. Serif inscriptions evolved during the Middle Ages and were used as the basis for the first printed typefaces. Sans serif inscriptions were used in England during the eighteenth century on monuments and public buildings. Both were increasingly used in printing from 1820 until the present day. This chapter also describes the application of systematic review to the issue of the legibility of serif and sans serif typefaces.
