What Fonts should I use?
No rules?
Perhaps a few suggestions?
- Always should be legible on web and printer. Keep it simple.
Don't distort or confuse message and universal accessibility
with fancy artistry.
- Convey a tone or feeling with fonts, never too large or
small. 10 or 12 pt is fine for the web. Large fonts shout
and distract.
- Save bold and special features
for headings and
important notes - don't mix or overuse.
- Don't kill the messenger with special non-standard font
type styles that the reader-viewer computer does not have -
if they don't have a font loaded on their computer, they
will never see it. 80% of special fonts are seen in readers
computer as standard Courier font?
- Use images to contain special
font graphics and logos to preserve
unique font characteristics.
- Watch background patterns
and colors with special fonts and page content - some fonts
can not be read.
- If you use a special font for your logo or images -
write the font style name down and save the original file
carefully.
- Color?
