mood changes after they read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"upright_elongated_font\"><\/span><strong>Upright elongated font<\/strong><span

business despite the type of products offered by a company to its customers. Please, note that this font isn\u2019t suitable for the promotion of original products that should be emphasized among the competitive companies\u2019 analogs. In this case, the final text will look poor. However, you can add colorful elements to make the logo more recognizable for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"formal_square_font\"><\/span><strong>Formal square font<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/furore.png\" alt=\"Furore font\" class=\"wp-image-811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/furore.png 1000w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/furore-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/furore-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/furore.png\" data-full-size=\"1000x300\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostly, this type of font is used in the promotional sign&#8217;s design of industrial products, as well as for various technological products and social posters. The formal square font will emphasize the importance of data and make people perceive promotional information seriously. This style is also suitable to attract the attention of businesspeople to your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"rounded_font\"><\/span>Rounded Font<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/comfortaa.png\" alt=\"Comfortaa font\" class=\"wp-image-812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/comfortaa.png 1000w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/comfortaa-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/comfortaa-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085157\/comfortaa.png\" data-full-size=\"1000x300\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The fonts for logos of this type can give your customers a sense of comfort. By contrast, angular fonts seem too formal. A writing style with rounded forms is perceived by potential customers as a guarantee of the company&#8217;s care and generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"oblique_font_with_vignettes\"><\/span>Oblique font with vignettes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/vegan-style-font.png\" alt=\"vegan style font\" class=\"wp-image-813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/vegan-style-font.png 1000w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/vegan-style-font-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/vegan-style-font-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/vegan-style-font.png\" data-full-size=\"1000x300\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s usually used in the promotion of products for the female target group. This font style is recognizable due to its lightness and beauty and triggers pleasant associations in young girls and women. You can find this font style on advertising signboards of beauty salons, as well as stores of women\u2019s clothing and cosmetic products. The italics use makes consumers perceive any information even easier as it seems not particularly important. That\u2019s why they prefer to make footnotes and notes in italics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"script_font\"><\/span>Script font<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/handwriten-font.png\" alt=\"Handwriten font\" class=\"wp-image-814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/handwriten-font.png 1000w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/handwriten-font-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/handwriten-font-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085156\/handwriten-font.png\" data-full-size=\"1000x300\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s unpractical to use this type of font in outdoor advertising as due to big size letters it becomes hardly readable for consumers. But the script font is effective in promotional materials of goods and services as it highlights their exclusivity and originality. This font can be found on the signboards of lawyers and specialists in consulting services. The use of this font style emphasizes information reliability and inspires customers\u2019 confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"stylized_decorative_font\"><\/span>Stylized decorative font<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085155\/decorative-font.png\" alt=\"decorative font\" class=\"wp-image-815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085155\/decorative-font.png 1000w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085155\/decorative-font-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085155\/decorative-font-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085155\/decorative-font.png\" data-full-size=\"1000x300\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This font type resembles inscriptions in Gothic style. We recommend using it only inappropriate situations. For example, it\u2019s not suitable for the signboard of a child center or beauty salon. In contrast, a stylized inscription will have a gorgeous look on the signboard of a thematic bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"examples_of_popular_fonts\"><\/span>Examples of popular fonts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Serifs fonts: <\/strong><em>Baskerville, Didot, Garamond, Georgia, Times.<\/em> These fonts are perceived as traditional, practical and refined.<\/li><li><strong>Sans-serifs fonts: <\/strong><em>Avenir, Futura, Gill Sans, Helvetica, Verdana.<\/em> They are characterized by their universality, modernity, purity, and geometrical forms<em>.<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Script fonts: <\/strong><em>Buttermilk, Edwardian, Isabella, Snell Roundhand, Zapfino<\/em>.

The letters of this style have an attractive look on the outdoor advertising elements maintaining their integrity even with an increased font size during printing. This font type attracts the customers\u2019 attention and is the best option for small size texts. But we recommend selecting serif fonts as a basic writing style since they don\u2019t make a reader feel tired too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to statistics, the fonts of the first type are used in a text title in 40% of cases. But more than 60% of Web sites prefer sans-serif fonts for the main part of the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"some_font_perception_aspects_on_a_logo\"><\/span>Some font perception aspects on a logo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1138\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085154\/brand-names-fonts.jpg\" alt=\"Brand names fonts\" class=\"wp-image-817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085154\/brand-names-fonts.jpg 1138w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085154\/brand-names-fonts-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085154\/brand-names-fonts-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085154\/brand-names-fonts-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/04\/19085154\/brand-names-fonts.jpg\" data-full-size=\"1138x640\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 6% of international brand logos use an icon. 56% of logo creators apply a combination of text and images, and the remaining 37% prefer an inscription. It has been proven that companies are used to choose text as the main element of a brand sign. The selection of an appropriate font is crucial to ensure the future success of a company. It\u2019s necessary to make customers feel the brand essence and characteristic features of the products that it offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Logos that place the text inside a <em>circle<\/em> or a <em>square <\/em>form a general impression of the company&#8217;s reliability and confidence in customers. If instead of these figures you select an <em>ellipse<\/em> the brand will be associated with creativity. A text inside an <em>inverted triangle<\/em> is perceived as a call to action.
