1.3 – FONTS

In this tutorial you’ll choose three fonts for your brand and save them in Canva for use in all your images. You’ll also learn how to upload fonts you bought elsewhere. When selecting fonts, pick a heading fonts that reflects your brand (think fun or girly, serious or masculine), you’ll use that one sparingly, as an accent or for titles. Then you’ll select another one that complements that font but is more readable for your subheading font. If you picked a curvy, flowy fun font for your main brand font, think about contrasting with a sans-serif, clean font for your subheading font. If you picked something masculine for your brand font, think about contrasting with a serif font. The third font you’ll choose will be something very readable when you have a lot of text. This one might seem boring, but it’s really important to choose something readable for your paragraph text.
