4 Huruf “Sans Serif” Fonts without the extra little tags on the letters are called "sans serifs," which literally means, "without wings." Some of the earliest sans serif fonts were cut in Italy in the early 1500s. They were popular with printers because the lack of extra bits on the ends of the letters allowed them to print more letters per line than the blockier and more complicated serifs.

6 “Grotesque” Typefaces without serifs were known in nineteenth-century England as Grotesque (or Grotesk in German) because they seemed so unusual to most readers. Monotype Grotesque is a straightforward 1926 design that is among the earliest sans serifs cut for hot-metal machine typesetting. Its simple, clean lines make it amenable for text use, and the condensed and extended versions are useful for shorter text and display use. 1.

8 “Gill Sans” Gill Sans is a pure and simple but not and artificial sans serif. It is based on the typeface Edward Johnston designed in 1916 for the signage of the London Underground. Gill's type is more classical in proportion and contains his signature flared capital 'R' and eyeglass lowercase 'g'. Gill Sans is classified as a humanist sans serif, making it very legible and readable in text and display work. 2.

10 Summary Sans Serif typefaces function well for the setting of extended text, though they do not as a rule provide for very economical setting because most have a lower x- height than the Grotesques.
