Have you learned something?
I learned that the serif originated from ancient Rome where people first painted letters onto stone before carving them. The brush strokes leave wider sections at the base of the letters and the those sections are carved over along with the rest of the letter. I also learned that the Japanese term of the same word (uruko) means "fish scales".
