Font Selection Tips

  • Use no more than two fonts per image for a clean, professional look
  • Pair a display/headline font with a body text font for hierarchy
  • Ensure the smallest text on your image is at least 20px — smaller is unreadable on phones
  • Test readability at thumbnail size before finalising
