The best and worst fonts (and the reasons behind it)

Fortunately, today, you are no longer limited to the pre-loaded fonts in Microsoft Word. There are thousands of better typefaces available you can download, plus a world of talented designers creating their own unique custom fonts that so many brands use these days. . However, not all fonts are good. In fact, there are many typefaces out there that have boring designs that are difficult to read and are simply ugly.

To help you find the perfect font for your project, we're going through the best and worst fonts along with what makes them work (or doesn't). Visit schriftarten123.com to get more information

Here are some fonts that look good and work best in most situations

What makes a good font?

While they may look very different from each other, the best typefaces have a lot in common. Consists of:

· Even spacing
· Consistency
· Balance
· Readability

And now let's analyze each component:

1. Even spacing

Spacing is the space between two letters. Too little space makes the font unreadable because the letters are blurred together. So much spacing that it's hard to tell if it's separating letters or words or is still the same word. It just looks clumsy and ugly.

Futura and Helvetica are two examples of fonts that are easy to read because even their letters are bold or thin, their arrangement always gives the reader a sense of reasonable spacing.

2. Consistency

Consistency means that all letters, numbers and any other characters used maintain the same look and feel. If a font where the letter “A” has a corner, I hope its B has the same foot

Similarly, if a font has thick letters with soft, rounded corners but the style doesn't extend to numbers or punctuation, the font feels inconsistent and even incomplete.

Mrs Eaves font has a consistent distribution from hard edges to rounded corners

3. Balanced Fonts

A balanced blend of thick and thin, heavy and light, is an important component of a good font.

Bodoni distributes weight evenly, which is what a classy font should have.

Didot is a great font that uses strong variations between thick and thin strokes while still managing to maintain balance. Bodoni is another famous example of a balanced font with strong, vertical strokes and gentle curves and curves.

4. Easy-to-read fonts

And finally, the font should be easy to read. A font that you can't read is like an image so confusing you can't figure out what it is. Test if a font is readable by writing multiple words and make sure you use every letter and a bunch of different letter combinations. Try increasing the font size, then shrinking it down to see if there's a size where it starts to become hard to read. If you need small text, choose an effective font at that size.

Fonts that have stood the test of time, like Garamond , are still popular with designers because they are readable in a variety of sizes, colors, and layouts. Footprints are particularly good at maintaining legibility regardless of context.
