Research and Planning: Difference between Serif and Sans-Serif font

The difference between  the serif font and the sans-serif font is that it is easier to read serif font. This is because of the added flicks on the end of the letters, there are some examples on the left. Where it is red on the letters on the last line of the letters is what the serif font actually is. Serif font is usually used for writing in books/magazines that have a font size lower than 12.

When I come to produce my story for my double page spread my font is going to be a font size of 12 at maximum. This is so I can fit all of my story in the space that is available. However when I produce the over sections on my magazine I can use sans-serif font because the font size that I would use for my cover lines on my cover will be over 12. This is so I can have a variety of Sans-serif font and Serif fonts.
