What to Know Before Using

Preview with real content.Lorem ipsum hides issues. Your actual text reveals problems. Long words, awkward breaks, personality fit.

Test at actual sizes.Fonts look different at 14px vs 72px. Set size to match your use case. Headline fonts need headline sizes.

Consider all weights.Regular may look great, but what about bold? Check all weights you'll use. Some fonts have weak bold variants.

Letter spacing matters.Tight spacing looks cramped. Loose looks airy. Find the balance for your font and size. Defaults aren't always best.

Pro tip: Preview on multiple devices if possible. Fonts render differently on Mac, Windows, and mobile. Test where your audience will see it.

Common Questions

What's a good body text size?

16px is standard for web. 14-18px range works depending on font. Test with your actual content and audience.

How much letter spacing is normal?

0 is default. -0.5 to -1 for tight headlines. 0.5 to 2 for airy designs. All-caps often needs positive spacing.

What line height should I use?

1.5 is comfortable for body text. 1.2-1.3 for headlines. More for long-form content. Adjust for your font's x-height.

Should I use system or web fonts?

System fonts load instantly. Web fonts offer more choice. Consider performance vs. brand needs. Often use both strategically.

How many fonts should I compare?

3-5 is manageable. More causes decision paralysis. Narrow down, then deep-dive on finalists. Quality over quantity.
