    Web Safe Sans Serif Fonts

    Font FamilySafe Fallback
    ArialHelvetica, sans-serif
    HelveticaArial, sans-serif
    VerdanaGeneva, sans-serif
    GenevaVerdana, sans-serif
    TahomaArial, sans-serif
    Trebuchet MSArial, sans-serif
    Arial is considered the safest sans-serif font on the web. It is installed on all Windows machines (99.8%) and all Mac machines (98.7%).
    Helvetica is the preferred fallback because the two fonts are almost identical. Helvetica runs on all Mac machines (100%) but on fewer Windows machines (7.3%).

    Using Arial with Helvetica fallback, or Helvetiva with Arial fallback, covers both worlds.

    Verdana is also considered to be a web safe sans-serif font. It runs on all Windows machines (99.8%), and all Mac Machines (99.1%).
    Geneva is Verdanas preferred fallback, because the two fonts are quite similar, and Geneva runs on all Mac machines (99.6%).
    Tahoma was the standard font in Windows 95. It works on 99.9% of all Windows machines, and 91.7% of all Mac machines.
    Trebuchet MS has been released with all Windows operating systems (99.7%) since Microsoft Windows 2000. It is also included on Macs machines (97.1%), iOS and Chrome OS.

    Web Safe Serif Fonts

    Font FamilySafe Fallback
    Times New RomanTimes, serif
    Georgiaserif
    Times New Roman is considered the most web safe serif font. It works on all Windows machines (99.7%) and all Mac machines (97.4%).

    Some older operating systems might have an alternative version called Times, so it is smart to use Times as a fallback as well as serif.

    Georgia is also considered very safe. It is a little larger than Times New Roman, but works well on most Windows machines (99.4%) and Mac machines (97.5%).

    To be on the safe side, use serif as fallback.

    This is Times New Roman

    Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometers and a population of 5,438,657 (December 2020). Norway is bordered by Sweden, Finland and Russia to the north-east, and the Skagerrak to the south, with Denmark on the other side.

    Courier Newmonospace
    Lucida ConsoleMonaco, monospace
