Serif fonts aren't more credible than San serif fonts. Serif fonts are great for lots of paragraph based text, san serif fonts are better for titles and shorter passages...and also code.

Fun fonts can be serif or sans, and are generally more artistic and ad oriented.

On screens you are right.

But on paper, with much higher resolution, serif looks more serious.

Sans often appears on signage, especially in Europe, where it works very well.
