Fun with Fonts

I love fonts. I love they way they can make a word feel different. Fonts can add emphasis, make something seem fancy or make  us feel calm and relaxed. However, sometimes we can have too much fun with fonts.

When you’re building a brand for your church or ministry, it’s best to pick one text font, one heading font and a color scheme that all correspond with your logo. It makes everything you produce recognizable as something specific to your church or ministry. It might feel a little boring to use the same one or two fonts and colors all the time, but it will add to your brand strength.

Veer is a great site with tons of great videos explaining how to install fonts, different types of fonts (no pun intended) and some great tutorials and inspiration. Veer also sells fonts and clip art (they also do great giveaways,  offer free backgrounds for your computer, phone or tablet and have pretty good sales).

The internet has several great sites to download free font. I get many of my fonts for free from dafont. But, I’ll warn you: it can be a bit addictive.
