Your chosen fonts will appear on everything from your banner art, thumbnails, logo, social media posts, transition slides, titles, subtitles, body copy and other marketing collateral. So you need to make sure that you pick the right fonts and pair them right. A font that doesn\u2019t sit well with your channel could signify unprofessionalism and ignorance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll show you how to get your font act right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Pick two fonts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you need to pick two main fonts for your channel. One for your heading and one for your body copy. Make sure that you only use these two fonts consistently across all your marketing collateral.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BEST FREE Fonts to Use for YouTube (2019)\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fPZK8pUNqw8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Know your typeface<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fonts can be broadly categorised into Sans and Sans Serif typefaces. Sans Serif fonts are bold, traditional, impactful and bold whereas Serif fonts are modern, simple and plain. For the best pairing, use Sans Serif fonts for headings and Serif fonts for your body copy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to choose FONTS - Typography for your Brand | Brand Style\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/braw06yfk9U?start=13&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Contrast like a pro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick two fonts that contrast each other to make the most impact. For example, you can keep your header font thick and body font light. Contrasting fonts are easier for viewers to pick up. Fonts shouldn\u2019t look too similar to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"10 Tips for Pairing Fonts\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q3oI4G3zJa8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. It&#8217;s in the clarity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your fonts must be clear and legible. Since your marketing collateral, logo and thumbnail will be shrunk down, your font should look bold even from a distance. There must be a good amount of spacing between each letter. Make sure they aren\u2019t squashed together. To test your font readability, resize your font to 10px. If it\u2019s still legible, you\u2019ve passed the test!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Communicating with Typography\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0oiOTmJmiW0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Link to emotional attributes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link your font to specific emotional attributes. A bold playful font can work perfectly for a kids channel and a romantic script font can work like a charm for a beauty channel. It\u2019s all in the channel aesthetics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Font Personality: How to Pick Brand Fonts\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i_LG9WRToyk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.
