      "So which is the easiest font to read?"

      Well as you can see from the font generator above, there are some fonts (like Old English) that are a bit harder to read.

      "Serif" fonts are ever so slightly harder to read because they have little "feet" on them.

      "Sans Serif" fonts don't have feet.

      Here's what I'm talking about:

      fonts in serif and sans serif

       

      This lack of "Feet" makes "Sans Serif" fonts a bit easier to read, as your brain has to process less visual information.

      For most adults reading a book, the difference between Sans Serif and Serif fonts it's pretty small....however when you take into account that most of the world primarily uses their phones to view the internet, these small details start to matter.

      Here's a demo of how "Sans Serif" fonts are a bit cleaner than "Serif" fonts:

      So which is actually the best font to use? My personal favorite I get all my clients to use is:
