Which type classification is without serifs; uniform weight of strokes; monotone appearance?

• A. Sans serif (type classification)
• B. Old style/serif (type classification)
• C. Script (type classification)
• D. Blackletter (type classification)

Answer: (A)

Sans serif typefaces are defined by two key visual traits: no serifs at the ends of strokes, and uniform stroke weight throughout the characters, which gives a clean, monotone appearance. This combination creates a modern, straightforward look that reads evenly at various sizes and on screens, aligning perfectly with the description in the question.

Old style/serif typefaces have serifs and more noticeable contrast between thick and thin strokes, giving a warmer, traditional feel. Script typefaces imitate handwriting with flowing, connected letters. Blackletter features dense, angular forms with dramatic contrast and ornamentation. None of these match all three features—absence of serifs, even stroke weight, and a monotone look—like sans serif does.
