Fonts are not just about looking fancy when it comes to signage – they can make or break how easy your sign is to read and how your business is perceived. It’s not just a question of personal taste – the typeface you choose can seriously affect how your business is seen by the public, which can either get you lots of positive attention or consign you to the bin if it’s a complete mess.
