How I choose fonts for each project is honestly hilarious and slightly stressful.
First, it depends on the kind of project and the vibe the font needs to communicate. Professional? Friendly? Loud? Calm? Serious but not boring?
I do have my loyal go-to fonts like Helvetica, Lato, Montserrat, Poppins, etc.
They’re reliable. They don’t stress me. But do I stop there? Of course not.
What's life without a little spice?
So I go hunting for more cuties. And by hunting, I mean I start scrolling through my installed fonts randomly, sometimes one by one and stopping only when a font catches my eye.
Any font that pleases my eyes and might be a sweet match gets noted. Stressful, right? I know!
Solid truth: I never finish scrolling through all my fonts before I’ve already picked my top cuties.
Then comes the elimination round, where I streamline the list, compare the vibes, test the sizes, and toggle the weights until the chosen one emerges.
I'm still installing more fonts, because I feel my real soulmate font is still out there.
So tell me, how do you pick your fonts?
