40 most popular Sans-Serif fonts

Sans-serif typefaces are known for their sleek and minimalist design, which not only gives them a clean and modern appearance but also enhances their readability, especially on digital screens and at smaller sizes. Some of the most popular and widely used sans serif fonts include Helvetica and Arial. Helvetica, created in 1957, has become an iconic typeface, finding its way into various applications such as logos, signage, and branding. On the other hand, Arial is frequently used as a default font in operating systems and software applications, and its design closely resembles that of Helvetica. In the realm of typography, sans serif fonts are often regarded as more contemporary and modern when compared to their serif counterparts, which are often associated with tradition and formality.
