What type of font should I use?
Simple font
Fancy Fonts
Actually, while I was looking for website with fancy fonts, they were either creative arts and crafts websites or kids websites. This is because these websites have a personal touch and have a friendly message to set out. Especially since their viewers are creative people and kids, it gives you a much more warmer feeling. These websites are fun and friendly, and you can tell that no two letters are the same. However, this can also be a downside as well. If you’re website viewers are everyday adults trying to receive information, then your content should be in simple fonts. This is so that is easier to read and faster. The viewers get what they were looking for and don’t spend too much time trying to figure out what it says. It also gives a more professional look while fancy fonts can not really offer the same professionalism that simple fonts can. Maybe fancy fonts can be used as a headline, but the rest should be in simple, especially if they are long paragraphs. Also, when a chef used fancy font for the menu, people assumed the chef had more skill in preparing meals.
