🐾 Website Typography: Choosing Fonts That Align with Your Brand 🐾

Hi friends, it’s Louie the Dog here—your go-to pup for pawsitively fetching website tips! 🐶 Today, let’s talk about a little detail that makes a BIG impact: typography! Yup, those fancy (or not-so-fancy) fonts on your site do more than just look pretty—they tell your audience who you are before they even read a word.

Here’s how to choose fonts that bark in harmony with your brand. 🖋️✨

1. Know Your Brand’s Personality

Your font should match your brand’s vibe. Are you playful, elegant, or cutting-edge?

Playful brands: Go for rounded, friendly fonts like Poppins or Comic Neue.
Elegant brands: Choose serif fonts like Garamond or Playfair Display.
Modern brands: Stick with clean, sans-serif options like Helvetica or Montserrat.

🐾 Pro Tip: Think of your font as your brand’s voice—does it whisper, shout, or sing?

2. Pair Fonts Like a Pro

One font is fine, but two fonts? Now we’re talking style! Just make sure they complement each other:

Combine a bold headline font with a clean, easy-to-read body font.
Example: Use Playfair Display for headers and Lato for body text.

🐕 Louie’s Rule: Too many fonts on a site = a cluttered doghouse. Stick to 2-3 fonts max.

3. Readability is Everything

What’s the point of a gorgeous font if no one can read it?

Keep body text sizes between 14-18px for comfort.
Avoid overly decorative fonts for paragraphs—no one wants to squint!

🐾 Fun Fact: Sans-serif fonts are generally easier to read on screens. (Louie’s eyes don’t lie!)

4. Color Contrast Matters

Your text should stand out from your background like my golden fur against a blue sky. 🌟 Use tools like Contrast Checker to make sure your text is accessible to everyone.

5. Test Before You Commit

Try out your font choices in a mockup before launching your site. Sometimes, what looks great in theory doesn’t quite wag the tail in practice.

Remember: great typography is like a dog’s leash—strong, reliable, and perfectly suited to its owner. Let’s make your website unforgettable!

Stay pawsome,
