Common serif fonts: Times New Roman, Baskerville, Garamond, Goudy Old Style, Georgia, Didot, Cambria. There are also slab serifs like Rockwell, American Typewriter and Courier.
Common sans serif fonts: Arial, Helvetica, Franklin Gothic, Avenir, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, Futura, Gill Sans, Comic Sans, Calibri.
I read this article to find out what classed as serifs or sans serifs - there are also several subcategories of both but perhaps that's a poll for another day, lol
If you pick the 'something else' option, please feel free to elaborate in the tags or comments, I'm curious!

Typography Tuesday
NEVILLE BRODY -- Industria and Insignia
English graphic designer and typographer Neville Brody (b. 1957) is noted for his record cover designs and for his work for the culture magazine The Face, the men’s magazine Arena, and the London magazine City Limits. Brody’s typographic style uses aesthetic elements from Art Deco and non-European influences. His graphic language has become an international model for computer-oriented design. Among his earliest fonts are Industria and Insignia.
Industria was originally designed for The Face in 1984 and released as a font by Linotype in 1989. Industria is a condensed san serif face with abbreviated, essential forms. It has a systematized mechanical structure of straight stroke with rounded outer corners and rectangular counter-spaces. It’s possible that you might recognize the font as it was used for the logo of The X-Files and is currently used for the logotype of the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team.
Insignia was originally designed as a headline face for Arena magazine in 1986 and released as a font by Linotype in 1989. It has the basic forms of constructed Grotesque fonts and was influenced by the New Typography of the Bauhaus from the 1930s.
These images come from the 2005 book Creative Type: A Sourcebook of Classic and Contemporary Letterforms by Cees W. de Jong, Alston W. Purvis, and Friedrich Friedl, and published by Thames & Hudson.
