My understanding from studying fonts about 40 years ago is that serifed fonts are easier and quicker to read. People don't read individual letters they recognize entire words. Serifs make individual letters blend together and thus, faster to recognize the word. San-Serif fonts slow down word recognition and are thus better for headings and logos - because they force the reader to concentrate on recognizing the words. This has also been my personal experience and I find long paragraphs of san-serif text tiring while a good serifed font, like Garmond, on the printed page to be effortless to the point of being pleasurable to read.

The introduction of computers has changed this because serifed fonts can suffer when viewed at low resolution. Nevertheless, with sufficient resolution I still find fonts like Georgia faster to read than any San-serif font. I prefer Georgia on computers because it is a little thicker and larger than the old standards of Times New Roman or Garmond.

My work is technical, so I lean heavily towards conveying content. I don't want that to come off as condescending, I very much recognize the role and value of attracting and holding people's attention. It is just that as a technical person it is all about conveying difficult and complex ideas as accurately and efficiently as possible. Put another way, I write lots of equations and with Math there is no contest, serfied fonts are much easier to read and understand than san-serif fonts.

I cannot help but also observe, the change in font preferences because of the computer age. Printed books with San-Serif fonts were and are still a rarity because they are difficult to read for extended periods of time. These days more content consumption is graphical or video replacing bulk text on computers and PowerPoint presentations, there has been a shift towards San-Serif fonts.

OTOH, maybe it's just me being old and brought up with textbooks full of serifed fonts and it is mostly about fashion and brain inertia.

Good video, BTW.

youre telling me a famous designer is a guy who made a red text in a premade font and called it a logo????

I want my 9.41 Minutes back!! Basically nothing special about this video...

In my life time doing (amateur) design graphic, my go-to font is always be Bebas Neue or Lemon Milk. It's just effortlessly beautiful.




Until I become bored with my own choice.

The major takeaway from this video is use the sponsor aka youworkforthem, fonts.

Better use Google fonts with fallback options, rather than waste money and time on sponsored content

How overcome self stage......

Would you use a Script Font casual on the first letter of the name and the rest of the name is in Sans-Serit Font bold?
