Valerie,
why do you think that so many web articles are in sans? its because the serifs are lost at article type sizes onscreen and hinder legibility. look at any article on screen typography and it will tell you the same

Sans serif typefaces, called by any name, are inherently more difficult to read in quantity. THAT'S why they shouldn't be used as text. And the fact that the article was written in a sans serif type (as are most Web articles) only serves to reinforce the argument against sans serif as body copy.

is a significant new contribution, and I can't wait so see
it in action, as well as more Berry font reviews!
