Great design sells, and this is true for almost anything, print design especially. If you’re new to designing you might not think there’s much to typography and fonts. Something from your Microsoft font list and whatever is readable will do, right? Wrong.
Picking typography for your custom reusable tote bag might be overwhelming, so we’ve broken down the information and given you a list of the 6 best fonts for printing down below.

Typography is the art of using text, while typefaces are the overall look of the text. (Ex;Aria)
Fonts are the particular size, weight, and specifications of your text. For example, Aria; BOLD; italicized size 10.

Printed Font Tips
Now that you have a good idea of the font you’ll be using, how can you make it work for you? Picking a good font for your custom design is only the beginning. Below are some tips to make your fonts work for you:
Make it Match
With design, less is always more. Stick to one font family so your work doesn’t look chaotic and unfocused. One or two different fonts are enough for a project.
Sizing
Margin and text. Those are two keywords you need to keep in mind when thinking about sizing on your custom tote bag. More text means more margin, plenty of white space allows for easier reading.
Clarity
Pick fonts that are bold and can stand out despite any color your background could be. Keep in mind that the greater the contrast between the text and the background, the clearer your font looks.
Fonts and Fun
Choosing the best fonts for printing on your custom item doesn’t have to be difficult. We hope this list helps you narrow down your choices and gives you a head start into typography and font fun. Visit our customs page to get started on your custom printing journey.
