Best Practices for Fonts in Your Designs

Fonts are powerful tools in a designer’s kit—but adding too many can backfire. When it comes to customizable templates or digital products, offering every font option under the sun can overwhelm users and weaken your design.


🚫 Why Limiting Fonts Is Best Practice

1. Decision Fatigue

Too many options can paralyze users. A bloated font list slows down decision-making and increases frustration.

2. Messy Results

Unrestricted font choices often lead to clashing styles and inconsistent final designs that stray from your intended aesthetic.

3. Performance & Readability

Large font lists can impact load times and introduce legibility issues, especially with decorative or trendy fonts.


✅ The Power of a Curated Font List

A smart, curated font list leads to better results—every time.

  • Supports the Design: Choose fonts that reflect the tone and theme of your product.
  • Guides the User: Limited options reduce confusion and help users create cohesive designs.
  • Protects Quality: Ensures finished products still feel professional and well-crafted.

🧠 Designer Tip

Stick to 5–10 well-chosen fonts per design. Pair a decorative type with a clean serif or sans-serif, and always prioritize readability.

Less is more. A curated font list not only makes your design stronger—it makes the user experience better.
