Guidelines for Choosing Fonts for Your Squarespace Website
The list above is not a complete list of all the fonts available on both Squarespace and Canva. For one, that would likely lead to decision overwhelm. Two, I wouldn’t want to share any font that I wouldn’t use on my own website.
When selecting fonts that work well in Canva and Squarespace, I asked myself the following questions:
Is this font legible and easy to read?
Would this font work at small sizes and on mobile screens?
Is this font flexible? I.e. if it’s a body font, can it be used in all caps? Bolded?
Choosing a good body font for your Squarespace website
Your website is like a virtual billboard for your brand, but it also needs to be usable and accessible. Making sure your content is easy to read is an important part of creating a positive brand experience.
When choosing a body text style, the most important characteristic is that it’s legible. Regular weight sans serifs are almost always a good bet and classic serifs (think Times New Roman) are among the most readable fonts.
For all my type nerds: it might surprise you to learn that serifs provide an important function beyond looking great: the serifs actually help guide your eye along as a reader, follow the line of text, and avoid fatigue. Pretty cool right? (Source)
Harvard has a great digital accessibility site where they provide guidelines for optimum readability for text online:
Avoid using all caps.
Use left-aligned text for easier reading.
Use visual space wisely to help users identify groups of related content.
Ensure there is proper spacing between lines of text for easy reading (this is referred to as line height or leading in design tools)
Choose a text color that has strong contrast against the background of your page.
Using decorative or display fonts on your Squarespace site
You’ll notice that some of the fonts on this list have interesting visual characteristics. Some are chunky, some have unique design elements, and some are high contrast serifs (think: the style of font used by Vogue).
When a font is more decorative, it’s referred to as a display font. These fonts are amazing for adding personality to your brand, but they should be used carefully. I recommend using these for headlines and large text areas only. For longer chunks of content (such as a blog post) or small captions and labels, stick to a more flexible body copy style. Using display styles sparingly also helps pack more punch. Win-win!
