How to choose a display font
Display fonts are made to attract attention at larger sizes. Their distinctive shapes work best in short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, packaging, social graphics, and video thumbnails. Because expressive details can reduce readability in long paragraphs, pair a display face with a restrained serif or sans serif for supporting copy.

Display font questions
What is a display font?
A display font is designed for prominent text at larger sizes. It prioritizes personality and visual impact over the sustained readability needed for body copy.
Can display fonts be used for logos?
Yes. A display face can give a logo a distinctive voice, but its license must permit commercial or logo use and the letterforms should remain recognizable at small sizes.
Should display fonts be used for paragraphs?
Usually not. Decorative details and unusual proportions can make long text tiring to read, so a serif or sans serif is normally a better choice for paragraphs.
Preview your own wording on each font page and review its license before publishing or selling your design. Browse the complete Fontsora font library to compare more styles.
