Serif or Sans-Serif?
Serif is best. Text in serif is more easy on the eyes and more aesthetically appealing. Sans looks cludgy and messy. The spacing of sans fonts is bizarre. In blocks of text like paragraphs it is more work for the eyeballs and the brain to take in the words. This goes against what I’m reading…

The delusion of “renewable” energy
