October 3, 2008, Newsletter Issue #162: Serif or Sans-serif?


1

Tip of the Week

To be with a do-hickey or to be smooth and round? Serif type is best for copy; sans serif is best for headlines and sub-heads. This is fairly standard practice for newspapers and magazines, where content-heavy design is the emphasis.

If you design a listing label for packaging, use a sans-serif typeface. The listing can be treated as "signage" and will be easier to read if kept simple.
