What. The. Font?!

Why Fonts Matter (And Why Comic Sans Should Be a Crime)

Let’s talk about fonts. Yes, fonts. Those curvy, blocky, elegant, or delightfully minimalist little characters that quietly scream your brand’s personality to the world.

Because here’s the truth: fonts are like pants. You don’t really notice them unless they’re wildly inappropriate. You can’t show up to a boardroom in pajama bottoms (unless you’re on Zoom, and even then, it’s risky). Similarly, your brand shouldn’t be showing up to its audience in Curlz MT unless you’re hosting a tea party for unicorns. 🦄

Fonts Give Your Brand a Voice

Think of your brand as a person. Now imagine that person speaking. Are they formal and poised? Bold and modern? Friendly and whimsical? Fonts give shape to that voice, even before a single word is read.

For instance:

Serif fonts (like Times New Roman) whisper, “We’ve been around since the Gutenberg press and we have receipts.”

Image Link

Sans-serif fonts (like Helvetica) confidently state, “We’re clean, modern, and we understand kerning.”

Image Link

Script fonts (like Brush Script) delicately sigh, “We write poetry and drink tea from antique china.”

Della Respira (my brand’s font of choice) elegantly hums, “We’re refined, timeless, and just a little bit dramatic—in the best way.”

Want a reason to stay consistent? Brands that keep their look and voice aligned can boost revenue by up to 23%. That’s not just polish, that’s profit.

Consistency Is Sexy (and Builds Trust)

Here’s where things get serious: consistency in font usage builds cohesion and trust. When your website, social media graphics, presentations, and email signatures all speak the same typographic language, it tells your audience one thing: “This brand has its act together.”
Inconsistent fonts, on the other hand, are like mood swings with a megaphone. One day you’re professional, the next you’re playful, and suddenly, your credibility is walking out the door in frustration.

Fonts Can Actually Influence Decisions

This isn’t just design snobbery. Studies show that font choice can affect how people perceive the credibility of your content. A well-chosen font says, “We care about the details.” A sloppy one says, “We made this in Microsoft Word at 2am.”
Font psychology (and who KNEW that was a real thing!) is basically the science of how fonts mess with our heads, but in a good way. It looks at how different typefaces make people feel and what they silently say to us. Think of it as the emotional baggage your fonts carry (spoiler: some of it’s useful).

When you understand these subtle cues, like why one font feels luxurious and another feels like a dentist’s appointment, you can make smarter choices that connect with your audience and actually move them.

It’s design with intention, not just decoration.
So if you’re asking people to trust your brand, invest in your service, or buy your product, you better believe the font matters.

How to Choose Your Brand Fonts (Without Losing Your Mind)

Here are three quick tips:
  • Pick a primary font for headings and a complementary one for body text. They should be distinct but harmonious, like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. If you don’t know what makes a good match, I’ve put together a freebie font family cheat sheet for you.
  • Stick to 2-3 fonts max. Any more and you risk looking like a ransom note.
  • Use them consistently across all touchpoints. Lock it in your brand guidelines and resist the urge to go rogue.

Fonts Are the Unsung Heroes of Branding

They set the tone. They build trust. They make your content easier to read. And they do it all without demanding credit. So, let’s give fonts the respect they deserve, and maybe leave Comic Sans where it belongs: in 1998, on a lost PowerPoint slide about “Team Spirit.”
