Fonts
Serifed fonts have extra decorations on the ends of the letters that can impact on their readability both on-screen and when printed at small sizes. For this reason we recommend the use of sans-serif fonts. Examples of readable sans-serif fonts are given below.
Font Name | Example |
Arial | ![]() |
Verdana | ![]() |
Calibri | ![]() |
Trebuchet MS | ![]() |
Cursive and Decorative Fonts
Complicated, cursive, compressed and decorative fonts like the ones below are much less easy to read and should be avoided.
Font Name | Example |
Edwardian Script | ![]() |
Snap ITC | ![]() |
