This is the way the text looks and the style of text, it is used to make sure that text is appealing and also clear to see. Typography includes the size, letter spacing, spacing and type face. However, font is the style of the letters and usually influences the size and color. They are both important since they give a meaning to the text. 

San serif is the convention text for, example words Arial which does add extra to the style of the letters.

Serif is an emphasis and adds a small decoration at the end. A typical example is Times Roman.

The difference between the two is that serif is used for printing since it is easier to read because the letters have decoration make sure you know what the letter is but San serif which are harder to read on paper when it is small since letter such as a and o would be easy to be confuse by if their small. Therefore, San serif is more popular to use on the internet and Microsoft.
