Best fonts to use for your artist website
Woohoo, a discussion about fonts, my favourite!
Seriously, that wasn’t sarcasm.
I’ve built hundreds of artist websites, and I’m happy to share some of the fonts that I use regularly.
Setting the scene:
Artwork needs to shine on a website. For this reason, I tend to use muted colours, and white/off-white backgrounds for my sites. Next, we want to make sure our font choices are not trying to steal the scene.
Rule of 2:
I stand by a general design rule that there should be no more than 2 fonts on a given web page. This means I often set up one font for headers, and a second font for paragraph text. This does not include your logo or header design, as that can have more creativity.
My favourite cheatsheet:
We all know how important consistencey is to your branding. This means it’s super beneficial to use a font that is present in both Squarespace and Canva (have I mentioned yet that these are my favourite tools for artist marketing!?) If you’re interested in brand continuity (who isn’t?!) You might be interested to check out this list of fonts that are on both Canva and Squarespace. Click here to see the list
