To make the task a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of handy fonts as well as some helpful tips and tricks. With our help, your custom t-shirt design will excite admiring glances instead of baffled stares.
Top Fonts For Custom T-Shirt Design
As you begin your quest for the perfect font, ask yourself these questions when you find a font that you like:
- Can I easily read it?
- When I show it to someone else, do they struggle to read it? Do they squint?
- When I show it to someone else, do they ask me what it says?
- Does the font capture the style of my design? Does it reflect my overall message?
- Is the font too delicate? If I hold it several feet away, is it still easy to read?
If you’re struggling to find the perfect font, let us make some recommendations. First you need to understand the top most important font categories.
Font Categories
he two most common categories are Serif fonts and Sans Serif fonts. Serif fonts are identified by the characters having “flourishes” on the ends of them, and Sans Serif fonts are the exact opposite – no “flourishes” on the font characters… a more standard block type of font. There are also Script fonts, Brush fonts, Handwritten fonts, Decorative fonts and many other types that we won’t touch on this time around.
