@arstechnica "Sans-serif typefaces are easier to read than their more baroque relatives, particularly on a screen. Additionally, sans-serif fonts are less likely to create problems for people who need to use optical character recognition and text-to-speech tools."
Is there evidence for these claims? The first one certainly isn't consistent with my experience.
@peterdrake @arstechnica and if the font has no head or feet for distinguishing lowercase l from uppercase I then it certainly isn't an improvement in readability.
