Question
How many fonts should I use on a flyer?
Answer
Keep it to two fonts on a flyer. One expressive font carries the headline and one clean, readable font handles the body. Piling on more typefaces creates visual noise that makes a flyer feel amateur, while restraint reads as polished and trustworthy. You can create plenty of variety within two fonts using weight, size, and case.
- Font one: a bold or decorative face for the headline to grab attention.
- Font two: a clean, legible face for body text and details.
- Create hierarchy with size, weight, and color rather than adding more fonts.
- Consistency signals credibility, while too many fonts undercut it.
| Role | Font choice |
|---|---|
| Headline | Bold or display typeface |
| Body / details | Clean, readable typeface |
| Emphasis | Weight and size, not a 3rd font |
