For screen reading, sans is often preferred. It's possible that this is somewhat outdated advice with the advent of High-DPI displays, but it certainly still holds true if you're targetting a diverse set of devices, including older screens.

And, since you went there first: "lieu".

D'oh! I mispelled "lieu" but corrected it within the edit window. Heh.

That's classic: I'm scolding the other fellow for not looking where he's going and I walk into a pole myself. Heh.

but... I'm a rando posting in anger. They're a brand company that just released a thing for Google with a typo in the "Brand Guide". (It's in the PDF, is it in the hardcopy? I'd be mortified if this was my project.)

I don't really have a response for your point about screen reading.
