So particular yet still so readable, Garamond features a style that was originally designed to resemble handwriting. You\u2019ll notice the x-height (the height of lowercase letters) in Garamond is very low compared to uppercase ones, giving your eye a built-in guideline that enhances its readability.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>And if you look closely, you\u2019ll notice all kinds of quirky qualities, like sloped strokes on the \u201ci\u201d and \u201cr,\u201d a high horizontal stroke on the \u201ce,\u201d a slightly splayed \u201cM,\u201d the extended leg of the \u201cR\u201d and slightly cupped serifs throughout.

From business documents and books to online content of all kinds, it\u2019s a seriously versatile option for your marketing campaigns and business needs in general.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>With Georgia, every letter features a small line embellishment that gives your content a streamlined look that\u2019s easily scannable.

A modern classic, this font is a no-brainer on things like brand logos, direct mail and business printing essentials like branded stationery and internal communications.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">&#8220;This Swiss typeface stirs up a surprising amount of debate in the design world &#8211; some designers swear by it, while others loathe it entirely,&#8221; said Smartpress Senior Graphic Designer Nate Johannes. &#8220;One common misconception is that simply using Helvetica will make your design look good. That couldn\u2019t be further from the truth! As one of the most widely-used typefaces of all time, it sticks out like a sore thumb when applied carelessly. But when used thoughtfully and with intention, Helvetica can be truly beautiful. And for what it\u2019s worth, the lowercase bold &#8216;a&#8217; is one of my favorite glyphs of all time.&#8221;<br \/> <\/span><\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>With Helvetica, you\u2019ll find its tight letter spacing makes it easily readable up close and from distance (that spacing also makes it great for headlines). Other distinct features include wide uppercase letters like \u201cE\u201d and \u201cF,\u201d a curved stem on the \u201c7,\u201d plus strokes that are horizontal, vertical and diagonal.
