Tips To Keep in Mind When Choosing Fonts For Custom Stationery
tips and insights for choosing fonts for custom stationery
Custom stationery is more than just paper and ink; it's actually a personal expression and a reflection of you and your style. Whether you're designing thank you cards, birthday card invites, or everyday note cards, the font you choose plays a significant role in the aesthetic and vibe of your stationery. Below, we're giving tips and insights to help you make the perfect choice!
The Importance of Font Selection
Fonts aren't just a design to throw on your stationery; they help set the style and tone of it. Below are a few things that fonts help with on your personalized notecards:
Fonts are Personal
- Whatever font someone chooses to infuse in their stationery is a way that they are expressing their unique style.
- If you have a funky, more eclectic font, that could show your artsy side.
- If you have an elegant cursive font, that might convey a touch of elegance and maybe you're more formal.
- Or there's a more kidlike font that someone chose that goes along more with a font a child preteen would choose
Fonts are a Big Part of Aesthetics
Fonts contribute to your stationery's overall vibe and style. It conveys elegance, playfulness, formality, or informality.
Fonts Need to Be Legible
Be sure to choose a legible font. There are many beautiful script fonts out there that are super hard to read. It can defeat the purpose of having a font if it can't be read!
Pairing Fonts
Most of the time, someone will stick to just one font if they get personalized stationery with a monogram or name.
Selecting Complementary Fonts
If you choose more than one font for a birthday party invite or business stationery, keeping a few things in mind when selecting your complementary fonts is essential.
Contrast is Key
Pair fonts that have distinct characteristics. More often than not, people will choose a serif font and sans serif font to use together.
Keep It Simple
Don't overcomplicate. Limit your font choices to two to NO MORE than three fonts.
Check Readability
I mentioned this earlier, but seriously, make sure your font is large enough to read and not too big where it's overpowering.
Experiment
Be bold and experiment with font combinations. You'll know what you like when you see it!
