The term 'Sans' is used to describe a type of font or typeface that is characterized by its lack of serifs. Serifs are the small decorative lines that are added to the ends of characters in some fonts. Sans is French for 'WITHOUT, ' and it is used to describe fonts that are WITHOUT these serifs. Sans fonts are also known as 'souci, ' which is French for 'CAREFREE, ' and 'freeof, ' which is a combination of the words 'FREE' and 'of.' Sans fonts are often used for titles, headlines, and other large text, as they are easier to read than fonts with serifs.
