When it comes to fonts, serif typefaces are distinguished by the tiny lines or “feet” that extend off the letters, while fonts without these "feet" are categorized as sans serif. In general, results from the cited studies indicate that sans serif fonts, such as [Arial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial), perform better, although in some situations, the measured differences are marginal. -From an inclusivity perspective, two key takeaways are that italics are particularly challenging for readers with dyslexia and that greater spacing between letters in a font may be the biggest factor in improving readability for all readers. +From an inclusivity perspective, two key takeaways are that italics are particularly challenging for readers with dyslexia, and that greater spacing between letters in a font may be the biggest factor in improving readability for all readers. Therefore, for written material in science, whether it be digital or print, attention to font type is paramount to ensuring maximum accessibility and readability for all readers.
