What are the best practices for typography in print design?
- Use legible fonts: Choose fonts that are easy to read, such as Arial, Helvetica, or Georgia.
- Choose appropriate font sizes: The body text should be large enough to be easily read, while headings and subheadings can be larger for emphasis.
- Provide adequate line spacing: The space between lines should be enough to make the text easy to read without excessive strain on the eyes.
- Use consistent font styles: Stick to one or two font styles throughout your design to maintain a cohesive look.
- Consider the color contrast: The color of the text should contrast with the background color to ensure it is easily visible.
- Use bold or italics for emphasis: sparingly to highlight important information without distracting from the overall readability.
- Break up long blocks of text: Use subheadings, bullet points, or other elements to break up large chunks of text and make it more visually appealing.
