Serif and sans-serif aren't specific fonts, but types of fonts. Serifs are
the little 'feet' on bottom and top of fonts such as Times, Century or
Bookman. Sans-serif are fonts such as Arial and Vedana which don't have
'feet' (Sans = without in Latin)
It may be asking you to restrict yourself to these 'ordinary' sorts of font
and not use decorative or script styles.
Hope this helps--

Serifs on a font act as visual hooks to keep the eye steady as it moves
across the line on a page, making it easier for the reader to maintain focus
on your message.
Commonly, a sans serif font is used for heading/headlines, while body text
utilizes a serif font.
Correct. I am a former Latin teacher with a master's degree in Classics,
but, even if I didn't trust my own memory (often a reckless thing to do
these days), my 2019-page Lewis and Short Latin dictionary jumps from
"Sanqualis" to "santerna." Possibly Linda is thinking of "sanus," as in
"Mens sana in corpore sano."
