Why Change Your Fonts

Changing your site's font is not just about aesthetics. Fonts influence:

  • Readability: A suitable typography makes reading easier and holds visitors' attention.

  • Brand Identity: Choosing consistent fonts strengthens your image and style.

  • User Experience: Fonts that harmonize with the site's colors and design improve navigation and engagement.

In summary, a good font combination makes your site more professional, pleasant, and memorable.

Best Practices for Your Fonts

  • Limit the number of fonts: 2 to 3 fonts are enough for a harmonious site.

  • Check readability: Test your fonts on mobile and desktop.

  • Harmonize with your colors: Contrast and visual consistency enhance user experience.

  • Test multiple combinations: Use the theme manager to quickly compare different styles.

  • Stay true to your identity: Your fonts should reflect your brand's tone and style.
