This article starts off well, but quickly makes various oversimplifications, such as:

> This is because it’s rare for sans-serif and slab-serifs to exhibit any difference in the stroke.

Uhh, sure they are rare, as long as you ignore industries where contrasting stroke sans-serifs are the norm in their marketing materials, like cosmetics: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/9689/estee-lauder-websites

For that matter, this is just an extension of the Humanist sans-serif category.

Other important subcategories elided are the Latin (or Wedge) serifs and Flared serifs.
