No, ConTeXt uses a typewriter font, not a sans serif font. Typewriter fonts
are normally not classified into serif and sans serif fonts, although some
of them have little strokes that resemble serif (cmtt, courier for instance) and
some of them don't (orator, ocrb).

for texts, and the creator of cmss considers the "less than" or "greater than"
mathematical symbols, and does not include them in the cmss font.
You might consider using cmtt for monospace text when mixing it with Computer
Modern. It fits into the rest very well (x-height, overall greyness) and
consumes little space compared with eg courier.
