1. What’s Your Project?
The type of project you’re working on can help direct your font choices. Will it be in print or displayed on a website (or both)? Is it for a major publication like a newspaper or magazine, or a casual newsletter? Handmade product labels or high-end wedding invitations? Or perhaps you have a poster that calls for a retro-style logo with bold headlines.
In other words, some projects might call for a less formal look with a sans-serif or hand-lettered font, while more elaborate designs require a brush script or classic-looking serif font. Once you have a theme in mind, it can help you narrow down potential font categories much quicker.
​
2. What’s Your Design Aesthetic?
Think about the target audience and the image you’re hoping to project. Do you cater to a younger crowd or an older, more sophisticated demographic? Think about the colors and images you use in your branding – are they playful and light, neutral and timeless, or deep and mysterious?
Your font choices should fit in naturally with the materials – something cutesy might not resonate with a mature or high-end crowd, while plain-looking fonts wouldn’t reflect a lively personality.
