## Concept

Sans-serif letters omit serifs, but their terminals and proportions still vary.

## Example

All five specimens share a sentence, iiiWWW 0123, and the same numbers. Edit the specimen, adjust its size, and show measured width guides or tabular digits. Text remains shaped as one string. Reset or reload restores the initial text at 48px. Change weight to compare the same glyphs at different strengths.

## When to choose it

Choose it for a sign or interface whose hierarchy is clear. Check ambiguous glyphs and localized CJK subsets instead of assuming universal readability.
