Sans-serif fonts, such as Arial or Tahoma, are best for users with low vision because they have clean and simple designs without any decorative strokes at the ends of the letters. This makes the text easier to read and distinguish for individuals with visual impairments. Serif fonts, such as Times New Roman, have small decorative strokes at the ends of the letters which can make it more difficult for those with low vision to read. Font choice does make a difference in readability for users with low vision.
