Often, we like a font <em>because<\/em> it&rsquo;s readable, not just because it looks nice &ndash; try to pick a font that not only represents your brand values, but is also enjoyable to read.<\/p>\n<p>Stay away from totally unreadable fonts, no matter how visually stunning they may be:[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;44994&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo;][vc_column_text]Some fonts, such as dense, blocky styles or quirky handwritten designs, can be tricky to read when overused on a webpage &ndash; for this reason, they usually work best as heading fonts. Always choose an easy to read font for longer copy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>4: Put Your Font Through Its Paces<\/h3>\n<p>Before you commit to a font, see how it looks in all its different forms, sizes, and weights (the weight of a font determines how thick or thin the lines are).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How does it look in different sizes?<\/li>\n<li>What do the uppercase and lowercase letters look like?<\/li>\n<li>How does it look in italics?<\/li>\n<li>How does it look when bold?<\/li>\n<li>What do the characters look like? For example, are numbers and punctuation easy to read in this font?<\/li>\n<li>Which weight would look best on your website?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an example, the font style <a href=\"https:\/\/fonts.google.com\/specimen\/Cedarville+Cursive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cedarville Cursive<\/a> is a beautiful handwritten script &ndash; but the uppercase &ldquo;G&rdquo; may not be to your liking, or you may prefer the traditional ampersand rather than the simple plus icon used. It&rsquo;s always worth checking small details like this![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;44922&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; onclick=&rdquo;custom_link&rdquo; img_link_target=&rdquo;_blank&rdquo; link=&rdquo;https:\/\/fonts.google.com\/specimen\/Cedarville+Cursive&rdquo; rel=&rdquo;noopener noreferrer&rdquo;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>5. Explore Font Pairing and Hierarchy<\/h3>\n<p>Often, you will pair fonts on your website, using more than one to create a better visual experience. When you pair fonts you want to create a visual harmony and although it&rsquo;s important for the fonts to contrast, you don&rsquo;t want them to overpower each other and cause conflict on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing which fonts to pair together you need to think about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Font weight<\/li>\n<li>Font style<\/li>\n<li>Font color<\/li>\n<li>Font size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, if you&rsquo;ve found a serif font for your website, there may be a sans serif version that will compliment it perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>When you are pairing more than one font on a website you need to make sure that each font has a purpose, usually to create a <strong>hierarchy<\/strong> within your content.<\/p>\n<p>A font hierarchy is effectively an organization system that categorizes your content and tells the reader which information is important and which is secondary.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you may choose to use a large, strong, bold font for your headings to draw the eye and capture users attention. You can then opt for smaller and softer fonts for your body text which are often easier to read for larger chunks of copy.<\/p>\n<p>Your font hierarchy makes it easier for users to read your content and tells them exactly where to look for certain types of information.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>6: Use Web Safe Fonts<\/h3>\n<p>Our last tip is to use web safe fonts. A web safe font is one that is universally installed across all devices, which results in faster loading speeds for your website. This keeps your readers happier, as they don&rsquo;t have to wait so long for your content to load, and is also beneficial for your website&rsquo;s SEO rankings.[\/vc_column_text]\n<\/p><div class=\"taco-highlighted-block secondary\">\n \n \n <strong>How to choose a font for your website. Recap:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Always start with your brand<\/li>\n<li>Pick fonts with your readers in mind, not just your own personal taste<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your font is readable<\/li>\n<li>Check your font in all its forms &ndash; bold, italic, numbers, punctuation, and so on<\/li>\n<li>Explore pairings and hierachy<\/li>\n<li>Use web safe fonts to help your content load faster for readers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Addressing Accessibility and Inclusivity <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text]When choosing good website fonts, one of the most important considerations to take into account is accessibility.\n<p>As a website owner it&rsquo;s your responsibility to ensure your website is accessible to everyone, including those with visual impairments. For those who are visually impaired, the wrong fonts can make reading content and navigating through a website impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Below we&rsquo;ve listed some of the key things to remember and consider to ensure your website font is accessible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sans serif fonts are generally more &ldquo;readable&rdquo; on digital screens.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid fonts that have intricate details such as calligraphy style fonts.<\/li>\n<li>Consider the weight of the font and the contrast against the background. Ask yourself, does it stand out enough?<\/li>\n<li>Pay attention to the spacing and line height. Don&rsquo;t make your content overwhelming or hard to read for users with cognitive disabilities or dyslexia.<\/li>\n<li>Provide font resizing options that allow users to adjust the font size on their screen to meet their own, individual needs.<\/li>\n<li>Select fonts that support a wide range of characters and symbols in order for your content to easily be translated into different languages for international users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to ensure your fonts are fully accessible we recommend testing them before setting your website live. You can do this by either undertaking user testing to ask for feedback or running your website through an accessibility scanner.[\/vc_column_text]\n<\/p><div class=\"taco-highlighted-block primary\">\n \n \n <strong>Top tip! <\/strong>There are now specific guidelines referring to website accessibility. Make sure you familiarize yourself with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) which includes font style, size and color as well as having alternative text for non-text items and text-to-speech functionality.<\/div>\n\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n 7 Deadly Sins of Choosing a Font for Your Website <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text]\n<h3>1: Don&rsquo;t Use Tacky Fonts<\/h3>\n<p>Never use Comic Sans &ndash; <em>ever<\/em>. It might be something you want to use on your kid&rsquo;s birthday party invitation, but tacky and funky fonts have no place on any websites that want to be taken seriously.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Each font design has its own personality.<\/strong> Depending on the design you choose, your font will give off a different impression of your website and your brand.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the font &ldquo;Papyrus&rdquo; makes you think of ancient civilizations. It&rsquo;s a font you&rsquo;d expect to see as the title of an Egyptian mummy movie, and not adorning a financial planning website.<\/p>\n<p>While these tacky fonts have their place in fun and hobby websites, please don&rsquo;t use them on your website if you want to look professional.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>2: Don&rsquo;t Use Messy, Hard to Read Fonts<\/h3>\n<p>Picking a font design for your main content is very different from choosing a font for your title, headline, or logo. The purpose of your website content is to <strong>deliver useful information<\/strong> about your product or service offerings to your readers, so readability is very important here.<\/p>\n<p>When in doubt, these are the font design you can always turn to:[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;45002&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>3: Don&rsquo;t Crowd Your Line Spacing<\/h3>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to make your content easier to read is to add enough spacing between each line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The magic number of a perfect line-height is 150% of the font size you are using.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, if you are using 24px font size, the line-height will be 36px (which is 150% of 24px):[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;45010&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo;][vc_column_text]It&rsquo;s pretty easy to see right away that the left column looks the best.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>4: Don&rsquo;t Use Too Many Different Font Designs<\/h3>\n<p>You should choose <strong>no more than three fonts<\/strong> for your website. Ideally, <strong>you should aim for just two font styles <\/strong>to use across your whole website:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A font style for headings and page titles<\/li>\n<li>A font style for main content areas<\/li>\n<li>A font style for quotes or subtitles (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Any more than this, and your web design can start to feel cluttered and confusing &ndash; and you&rsquo;ll undermine that brand identity you&rsquo;ve worked so hard on!<\/p>\n<p>Try to find two fonts that complement each other &ndash; this is called a<strong> font pairing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll want a font for headers and a font for longer on-site copy, and you can have some fun matching up this pairing. If you find yourself struggling, Google Fonts provides pairing suggestions, and there are free online tools to help you too.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;44930&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>5: Don&rsquo;t Use Too Many Font Colors<\/h3>\n<p>Color is a powerful branding tool. For example, when you think of Starbucks, what color(s) comes to mind? Most likely it&rsquo;s the green that you see in their logo and on their website.<\/p>\n<p>When you&rsquo;re choosing colors for your fonts, <strong>only pick one or two brand colors<\/strong> that truly represent you or your business to use in your headline or sub-headlines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure your font color stands out clearly against your background color<\/strong>, so that it&rsquo;s easy to read. There are free tools online, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/webaim.org\/resources\/contrastchecker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WebAIM contrast checker<\/a>, which you can use to make sure your font color meets readability standards!<\/p>\n<p>Using too many colors, clashing colors, or the wrong color (lime green or pale yellow, for example) will make your website look messy, and make your content difficult to digest.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>6: Don&rsquo;t Pick Font Sizes At Random<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Modular scaled font sizes will give your text a more harmonious appearance. <\/strong>This is a series of font sizes which possess the perfect proportion that the general public view as &ldquo;beautiful.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Font Sizes: 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 95<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>16px is the ideal font size for your main body text.<\/strong> It&rsquo;s neither too small nor too big, so it really helps improve your paragraph&rsquo;s readability. In fact, the font size we use in the main content areas of our articles is 16px.<\/p>\n<p>8px is really too small for main copy &ndash; instead, you should only use this size for minor text, such as date stamps. For headings, feel free to play with the larger font sizes as you see fit![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Useful resource:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you want a different font size than the ones we recommended?

Making use of white space is one of the <strong>easiest things you can do right now<\/strong> to instantly make your website content easier to read.<\/p>\n<p><strong>White space stops your website looking cluttered<\/strong>, and gives your content more impact and &ldquo;space to breathe&rdquo; &ndash; which in turn makes it easier to scan and digest for visitors. White space doesn&rsquo;t actually have to be <em>white<\/em> &ndash; it&rsquo;s just the empty space between elements.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the brands that use white space best include Apple, Squarespace, and Medium &ndash; experiment with white space on your website, and see what results you create![\/vc_column_text]<\/p><div class=\"gallery-lightbox-section mobile-full-width\" data-eventcategory=\"content-element\" data-eventaction=\"image-gallery\">\n <div class=\"gallery-lightbox-wrapper\">\n\n <div class=\"gallery-header\">\n <h2 class=\"gallery-header-title\">\n White Space Examples <\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"gallery-header-content\">\n <div class=\"click-text\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-content\/themes\/wbe\/dist\/img\/svg\/expand-icon.svg\" alt=\"expand icon svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\">\n <span>\n Click the image below to expand <\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"close-btn-block\">\n <button class=\"close-btn\">\n Close <\/button>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"content-gallery\">\n <div class=\"content-gallery-carousel glider\">\n \n <div class=\"content-gallery-carousel-item\">\n <button class=\"item-img-wrapper\" data-eventlabel=\"image-enlarge\">\n\t <img src=\"https:\/\/images.websitebuilderexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/25024759\/website-fonts-squarespace-white-space-example.png?width=880&amp;height=400&amp;fit=crop\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"website fonts squarespace white space example\" width=\"880\" height=\"400\" data-caption=\"\" class=\"flexi-comp-img\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, \"> <\/button>\n\n <div class=\"gallery-item-caption\">\n <span>\n Squarespace&rsquo;s bold, modern font stands out because it&rsquo;s surrounded by plenty of white space.
