How exactly does an RFs lens differ from an RF lens?

RF-S (not RFs) lenses are designed for APS-C sensor cameras. Therefore they can draw smaller image circle. So the overall lens design can be (and usually is) smaller, lighter, cheaper while maintaining the same optical parameters as their FF equivalents.
