Typography affects how easily visitors can scan headings and read explanations. Start with the real content and the devices your audience uses. A display face that works for a short heading may become tiring in a long article, especially at small sizes.

A practical approach

Limit the number of font styles that need to work together. Establish a clear hierarchy for headings, body text, labels and secondary information. Check the design when the preferred font is unavailable so content remains readable while fonts load or when an external service fails.

Your checklist

  • Test long headings and multi-line buttons.
  • Review body text at narrow and wide widths.
  • Use a fallback font and check text enlargement.

For example

An international business may need accented characters or additional writing systems. Verify support with actual translated content before committing to a typeface that looks attractive only in the original language.
