Font Usage

Your sign is a HUGE part of your image, and fonts play a crucial role.  The most important thing to remember when choosing a font is visibility.  What does that mean?  It means that you need to make sure that your font is legible from a distance, as well as readable from a higher rate of speed if you are along a road.  You want to attract your customers, but that will not happen if they can not tell what you are offering in your store.  So, here are a few things to keep in mind.

1.  What is the distance from which the font needs to be legible.  This will help you to choose the font style, as well as help determine how large the text needs to be.  Don't worry, we will help you with this!

2. Simplicity can be the best option

You want people to notice you, but if the font is too complex, they may just get confused!  This goes back to the concept of legibility.  Make your font fit your image, but remember it is an enhancement of the image.

3.  Continuity is important

Make the font a cornerstone of your image.  Use common fonts in your signs and printed documents.  However, you can highlight a segment my adding highlighting, italics, or bold fonts to the document.  Just remember that it is to enhance your image, not overshadow it.

4. Make it work for you

Remember that you want to attract people to your business or event.  Make sure that you use the right font style and size for your audience.  We can help you choose the best option to fit your business and image.
