Serif fonts have small lines (serifs) at the ends of characters, while sans serif fonts do not have these lines. Serif fonts are often seen as more traditional and formal, while sans serif fonts are considered more modern and clean. Sans serif fonts are typically easier to read on screens.
The four main types of fonts are serif, sans serif, script, and display. Serif fonts have small lines or flourishes at the ends of characters, sans serif fonts do not have these lines, script fonts mimic handwriting, and display fonts are decorative and designed to grab attention.
Usually the serif fonts are divided into 2 categories, slab serif and serif. Clarendon is an example of a slab serif.
Serif fonts are generally considered easier to read in print media, as the serifs help guide the eye along the text flow. However, in digital formats, sans-serif fonts are often preferred for on-screen readability due to their cleaner appearance. Ultimately, personal preference and context can play a significant role in the readability of serif fonts.
wrong category (word 2010 in css?!), but: serif = fonts with small "hooks" on the letters (e.g. times new roman) sans serif = plain fonts with no "hooks" (e.g. arial, verdana)

Fonts came to be with the print press, which is generally accepted to have come about in 1450 (earlier versions existed, but this was the first that could properly be defined as such). The press attempted to mimic the handwriting of the time, resulting in cursive text people used at the time. This was gradually refined over and over in order to save on both space and ink, the letters became simpler and smaller. This resulted in the Serif fonts, which still had the serif at the time. The serifs were subsequently removed, to once again save on ink, and thus the Sans-serif fonts came about.
