To test if your flyer is readable, print a preliminary copy and post it up. Be sensible about which fonts you select. All of them can be downloaded and used on your flyer designs. I use them often on calendar designs, meal planner designs, occasionally on illustrations, and of course on flyers. These are eleven of the fonts I enjoy using for a variety of purposes. Some of them are free even for commercial use, just take a quick look. Always check the licensing for each font as you download, to be sure the font is appropriately licensed for your purpose. No, Comic Sans is not your only choice for getting "fancy." (Nor should it ever be.) Fonts can be downloaded from sites such as Font Squirrel for free. If you have followed the guidelines in Basic Flyer Design: Implementing Your Concept, but want to jump a little further into typography, a number of resources are out there for you.įirst of all, you are not limited to the fonts already installed on your computer. If you just need something a little different to get your brain moving in another direction, you can't beat photos of insects wearing hats made of water, a typeface made entirely of the season's hottest clothes, or a city built entirely of chewing gum. Not sure which fonts to try first? Some of my go-to fonts are League Gothic, Ostrich, Junction, and Garamond.
For instructions, check out this article. If you like what you see, you can download and install the font. You'll find it next to "Specimens." Type in your flyer title and try out various sizes. When browsing the font offerings, you can click on a font you'd like to take a closer look at, then click on the "Test Drive" tab at the top. If you like to test drive before you commit, or just want to see some options for bold flyer titles, take some letters for a spin on Font Squirrel. If you have a propensity for typeface installation, it's handy to have a program like Nexus Font to preview and manage your collection. I've shared my love for Font Squirrel a time or two before, but this time I'd like to share the "test drive" mode.
