Readability Comes First
No matter how beautiful a font looks, if visitors can't read your content, they'll leave. Choose fonts with clear letter shapes, adequate x-height, and proper spacing. Test at 16px body size minimum on mobile devices.
Brand Personality Through Typography
Serif fonts convey tradition and authority. Sans-serif fonts feel modern and clean. Monospace fonts suggest technical expertise. Choose fonts that align with your brand's voice and your audience's expectations.
Performance Considerations
Every font file adds to page load time. Use the web-safe fonts reference to find system fonts that require zero downloads, or limit Google Font imports to the weights you actually use.
