The right font is as important as the words it shows!

Typography isn't just about reading text; it's about how those words are presented to you and the emotional response they evoke. Why is it so crucial to choose the right font? Because the typography of your content can significantly influence a reader's perception of your brand, product, or message.


Why Fonts Matter:

  • First Impressions: The font you choose is often the first thing a potential client notices about your business. It can set the tone for what they can expect from your brand.
  • Readability and Usability: Certain fonts are more legible than others, especially across different devices and mediums. Readability affects comprehension and retention of information.
  • Brand Consistency: Your typography should be consistent with your overall brand image to ensure that all touchpoints communicate a cohesive message.
  • Professionalism: The right font can convey professionalism, reliability, and trustworthiness, which are essential for any business.

Just imagine...

  • ... a financial statement printed in a fancy and playful script font - no matter how good the numbers are, would you take the business seriously?
  • ... an alarm company advertising in a kids-like font - would you trust them to keep your home or office safe?

These examples illustrate the impact that font choices can have on audience perception. A well-chosen font reinforces your message and lends credibility to your brand, while the wrong one can undermine your efforts and lead to negative outcomes.


"Font Fails" are all too common 🚫 But fear not! With over 20 years of experience in the graphic and printing industry, I've seen it all – from cringe-worthy font choices to typographic disasters that could have been easily avoided. The good news? Poor font choices are rarely done on purpose. Once you understand the basic rules of typography, making the right choices becomes second nature. That's what this course is designed to teach you.
