Do you know what a the 'serif' refers to in the 'sans [without] serif' thing? Well, the 'serifs' are the little dangly bits. You see on the 'S' of the serif? How the extremities of the 'S' have a 2-4 pixel dangly bit? That's a serif.
Edit: I only point this out because there are lots of fonts that, technically, fall into the categories of 'serif' or 'sans serif' and it's a peculiarity of typography that these two variations on Helvetica* have come to assume a name that was originally merely a technical, descriptive detail of other fonts.
*I'm presuming it's Helvetica, I think all of the Arial/ unicode family are variations on Helvetia.
