Typography shapes how a brand feels and how easily people can read its content. The right choices make designs clear and distinctive.
Fonts carry personality
Serif fonts often feel traditional or editorial; sans-serifs feel modern and clean; display fonts add character but should be used sparingly.
Limit the number of fonts
Two typefaces, one for headings and one for body text, are usually enough.
Build a hierarchy
Use size, weight and spacing to distinguish headings, subheadings, body text and captions.
Readability basics
- Comfortable body text size.
- Line length of roughly 50 to 75 characters.
- Generous line height.
- Sufficient contrast.
Responsive typography
On websites, type should scale smoothly across screen sizes. Fluid font sizes and responsive spacing keep text readable on phones and elegant on large screens.
Performance and licensing
Web fonts affect loading speed. Use only the weights you need and check licences for web, app and print use.
