When a piece of body text has a large enough font, and lots of breathing room around it )like the text above, and like the text on Medium), I think serif works quite well. It feels more peaceful, like reading a book, you will take the time to read it.

Sans serif works better for UI elements, small text, or just when you have a lot of content that the user has to browse through as fast as possible.
