Sans-serif
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you on this, but I'm not sure you're correct about your addition to the sans-serif article back in October:

"The type used by an author correlated to the social class of the author's intended audience. Roman type was commonly associated with the upper class and bourgeois readers of biography, fiction, and the sciences while Gothic type was used primarily for lower class reading interests, such as chapbooks. For example, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences was ordered, upon their foundation in 1739, that their proceedings would be printed in roman script to meet the expectations of the international scientific community at that time."

I don't think this is relevant to sans-serif fonts, and I'm not sure what parts of the world this is true for. 'Roman' type simply means normal serif fonts of the kind we use today, as opposed to 'italics' (the Germans call them Antiqua typefaces), while Gothic in this context means blackletter, not sans-serif. (Blackletter was still used to print books in Germanic/German-influenced countries in the 18th century but was effectively unheard of in Britain, and I understand also France and other parts of Western Europe.) To the best of my knowledge no normal books were printed in sans-serif in the 18th century, maybe possibly some engraving captions. But I know nothing about Swedish printing and I could be wrong about this! Blythwood (talk) 04:33, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
