How to Choose the Right Font for a Quote: Size, Format, and Readability
When it comes to picking the right font for any design project, its style, size, and readability is important. Every font has its own tone and one should be sensitive to it while making fonts. These factors matter even more especially when you’re making crafts that focus on texts like quote cards or posts.
Sans serif or script fonts are the best fonts or quotes. This is because they can be easily read whether you have short or long phrases. As for the font size, it depends on your canvas but a good rule of thumb is to choose between 18-28 points. It’s important to use a larger font size for the primary text (main quote) and a smaller font size for the secondary text (label or name). Also, experiment using different font weights to make sure that your quote doesn’t drown in a busy or textured background.
