Let’s close out the favorite fonts series with some of the prettiest fonts of all: script fonts! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Script fonts can add a ton of personality to your website, and lend that elegant touch we all love. But, with these pretty fonts, things can quickly go off the rails! Follow these hot tips to use script fonts to their full potential! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥 Use script fonts sparingly! While pretty, they are much less readable than more standard fonts. Avoid using script fonts for anything more than 1-3 words at a time. 🔥 Size ‘em up! When it comes to less readable fonts like these, a larger font size can help users read them more clearly. 🔥 Avoid using any letter spacing in script fonts. The purpose of a script font is for the letters to connect seamlessly. While letter spacing looks great for serif and sans serifs fonts, it ruins the effect of those gorgeous script fonts! (I know my fellow designers feel me on this one!!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me in the comments which of these pretty choices is your favorite! . . . . #showit #showiteer #showitdesigner #smallbusinessbranding #webdesigner #websitedesigner #webdesigner #websitedesigner #branding #onlinemarketingstrategy #digitalentrepreneur #digitalentrepreneurship #digitalentrepreneurs #businessbydesign #createyourhappy #abmlifeisbeautiful #colorjoystock #colorjoy #sparkcolorjoy #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #creativeatheart #herestothecreatives #fonts #fontsinuse #typographyinspiration #typographylove #fontdesign #fontstyle #typefacedesign

Continuing the series of my favorites fonts, today is all about sans serifs! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love using these fonts for subheadings, navigation, and buttons on my clients' websites. They could also work great as header fonts for really modern, clean brands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some of my favorite tricks for making these fonts look more elegant and high-end: ✨Play around with letter spacing but keep it subtle! On Showit, I like to set letter spacing on subheadings to about .05-.1 ems (it will vary by font!) ✨Try the font in all caps. This can lend a streamlined and clean look. ✨Use different font weights! The same font in light, regular, or bold can give off totally different vibes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You'll actually spot one of these options on my own website...check it out and see if you can tell which one I chose! . . . . #showit #showiteer #showitdesigner #smallbusinessbranding #webdesigner #websitedesigner #webdesigner #websitedesigner #branding #onlinemarketingstrategy #digitalentrepreneur #digitalentrepreneurship #digitalentrepreneurs #businessbydesign #createyourhappy #abmlifeisbeautiful #colorjoystock #colorjoy #sparkcolorjoy #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #creativeatheart #herestothecreatives #fonts #fontsinuse #typographyinspiration #typographylove #fontdesign #fontstyle #typefacedesign
