5 simple rules to keep in mind when using Typography

Rules to follow for Typography

Typography holds such significance in website design that numerous companies invest significantly in their research. Essential guidelines include consistency, hierarchy, readability, whitespace, and limiting font variety.

  • Staying consistent with the font choice, size, and style
  • Keeping a hierarchy, emphasizing font weight for important parts where you want the user to focus
  • Maintaining readability which includes line spacing and contrast from text to background
  • Distancing whitespace around texts to create visual balance
  • Limiting fonts keeping paragraph sections small and short

A good general rule for font-weight usage is to reserve heavier weights (bold, semi-bold) for headings and emphasis while using lighter weights (regular, light) for body text to maintain readability and hierarchy
