4 Tips for Choosing the Right Font

The Power of Fonts: Part 2


Within visual communication, fonts are the unsung heroes. They're the voices that shape our perception and influence our decisions. Just like clothes speak volumes about our personality, fonts convey messages about the content they adorn.

So how do you know what font to choose?

Here are 4 tips for choosing the right font:

  1. Who is your audience?
    Who are you trying to reach with your message? What are their tastes and preferences?

  2. What is the purpose of your project?
    What are you trying to achieve with your message? Are you trying to inform, persuade, or entertain?

  3. Use a variety of fonts:
    But no more than 2-3!
    Don't be afraid to mix and match fonts to create a more interesting and engaging design. People say the more the merrier, but not when it comes to font choice

  4. Keep it simple:
    Too many fonts can be overwhelming. Stick to a few fonts that complement each other well.

By taking the time to choose the right fonts, you can make your message more impactful and memorable.

When going through your brand strategy, think of how you want your customers to feel when they interact or view your brand.
