MM, MC, or MI cartridge

Can somebody briefly describe the difference in the sonic characteristics of these types of cartridge, if possible?

I’ve never had a MC and I’m wondering what difference it would make.

I enjoy them all and have specific phono sections I use with each. Moon, SPL, Gold Note and Pathos.
