How can you use “sans-serif” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Besides, there is nothing modern about sans-serif type: if anything, it is moderne —that is, in the tradition of Art Deco.

  • In passing, we cannot refrain from reiterating our perennial complaint about the typography of the newer dictionaries: although the body text is a paragon of clarity, the headwords are set in bold sans-serif type, which makes the characters of some words indistinguishable.

  • As one case in point, I cite The Random House Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition , in which, possibly in order to mimic other dictionaries but probably because there are few things that designers can get their grubby little fingers into, the main entry words were reset in sans-serif type, presumably just to make them harder to read.
