The Beauty of Sans-Serif Fonts

Sans-serif fonts are seen today in modern design everywhere, much more than in the past years. Some reasons this may have happened is because of the enormous popularity of the font Helvetica as well as the new growing appeal of "minimalist design" or "simplistic appeal". Sans-serif fonts are clean, easily read, sophisticated and modern. I believe that the sans-serif fonts work much better for aesthetic appeal for design purposes, rather than for large blocks of texts.
