Do you have a new marketing campaign with a ton of copy you need to choose a font for? Choosing the right font is a quick step you don’t want to miss, as it will help your readers stay with you. A great place to start is to select either a SERIF or a SANS SERIF font.
Let’s say you have a printed newsletter you are working on with a large amount of copy. Generally speaking, a serif font will be a better choice for you. The ‘serifs’ give your reader’s eye the visual anchors needed to ‘hang on’ to the letter forms when reading a printed page with a ton of copy.
Sans serif fonts on the other hand do not have serifs. They are a better choice for large amounts of online text, as well as any areas where smaller font sizes are needed (printed or online). It turns out that those same serifs that were great on a printed page are not so great on a glowing screen.

We balance out our top picks for Sans Serif fonts this week with Our 5 Favorite Free Serif Font Families for Spring/Summer 2016. We have curated our top picks with links to save you the time and hassle of having to figure it out. And they are…
If you read our top 5 sans serif picks you will know that we just completely contradicted our advice last week in looking for type families that have 6+ styles with our selections above. Sometimes we have to break the rules when a font comes along that is impeccably designed, and Domine is just that font. Designed by Impallari Type it’s gentle on eyes and is tested and optimized for large bodies of web copy. Perfect for online magazines and newspapers, its ideal size is 14 px and 16 px but Domine can go as small as 11 px.

Having the perfect, well designed typeface is essential for any project. With so many free typefaces out there, how do you figure out where to start?
Start here. We have curated Our 5 Favorite Free Sans Serif Font Familes for Spring/Summer 2016 with links save you the time and hassle of having to figure it out. And they are…
What we love about each of these font families is the range of styles available. Font family ‘styles’ are the variations in the thickness and stroke, such as bold, light, thin, italic, roman. These styles provide flexibility to any communication needs you may have. Check out an example of Source Sans Pro below. It was created by Paul D. Hunt over at Adobe and is available in 12 styles. QUICK TIP: When searching for a font family look for at least six styles, its a good sign that it will adapt to any hierarchical needs you may have.
Look out for our next post in 2 weeks on Our 5 Favorite Serif Font Familes for Spring/Summer 2016.
