Have you ever noticed your font preferences? I always find this interesting.

I used to be an Arial user until I found Verdana. I prefer Verdana at 10 pixels. When I compose email, I like for my text to be blue, but in written documents, I prefer that text be black. I get email sometimes from people who use Comic Sans in lavender. Some folks use Times New Roman. It’s all personal preference, really.

When I design, I use a multitude of fonts. I pair serifs with sans-serifs, bold with regular, condensed with extended. I let letters overlap one another – I encourage it, actually.

I think that type is visually intriguing, and I love when people love to play with it. One of my very favorite projects was a business card for a company that sold baby products. The back of their card simply listed their products. Playing with the fonts was just fun!

I think design doesn’t always have to be complicated to be pretty. It can be both captivating and simplistic. A little type goes a long way.

It’s little things like this that I obsess over and wonder if anyone else even notices.

Do you have a font preference? And if so what is it?
