The Legibility of Serif and Sans Serif Typefaces on Paper and Screens (library.oapen.org)
treetalker 12 hours ago [-]
To sum up almost 160 pages:

> [T]he overwhelming thrust of the available evidence is that there is no difference in the legibility of serif typefaces and sans serif typefaces either when reading from paper or when reading from screens. Typographers and software designers should feel able to make full use of both serif typefaces and sans serif typefaces, even if legibility is a key criterion in their choice.
