It is important to choose the right typeface for your document for several reasons:

  1. Readibility


    The typeface must be legible, and some are better suited to helping the reader consume long passages of text, whereas others are best for documents that need to be skimmed and browsed.

  2. Medium


    Some recent fonts are designed primarily for screen-use, whereas many others will be better suited for printing at the high-resolution of your OKI printer.

  3. Context


    Your choice of typeface can significantly improve or damage how well the content of your document is communicated. If you think of your text as the script - the font is the actor. Certain typefaces are more appropriate, and will deliver the lines with more conviction - they will help your readers to absorb your message easily.
The following pages will help you to choose the most appropriate fonts for your work.
