**Serif** is the best experience (for most people) for long form reading:
Articles, Book chapters, ...
**Sans** is great for shorter, more chopped up types of reading:
Posts, Wiki entries (with all the links etc...), Descriptions, ....
Many are critiquing Serif as inheritance from the printing press and so on.
Plus, a lot of research has gone into maximizing readability.
Lexend — Change the way the world reads. to name just one example.
But you don't see many customers actually preferring those fonts. Readability isn't everything. Serif has a great vibe going for it and fonts like "Lora" are very much readable enough.
