Drives me nuts that the capital "I" looks the same as lower case "L". What happened to the top and bottom line on the "I"?

    But to get to the point, some dudes created Helvetica, which was adapted later, like Judaism to Christianity, to create Arial.

    ExplanationThe reason being, Helvetica was made in the 1950s as exclusive for IBM and Microsoft didn't want to pay for it, so they had their own exclusive made in the 1980s, a legally distinct but practically identical version.

    This is the category called Sans-Serif

    ExplanationThe name means 'without serifs', which are 'extra' identifiable pieces on the characters on the bottom like flicks on a and l or the feet on the i, I and 1

    Popular serif styles from multiple sources exist ::: spoiler such as: From Apple:

    • New York

    From Google:

    • Roboto
    • Merriweather
    • Lora

    From Microsoft:

    • Georgia
    • Aptos Serif
    • Cambria

    Open source:

    • EB Garamond
    • Instrument Serif
    • Libre Baskerville

    Alright please forgive me for this one transgression of using Gemini, but this is one statistical likelihood that feels creepy
