If you’re starting a new business or rebranding your current one, the name of your company matters a lot. It’s how people will recognize you and spread your services through word of mouth. When it comes to your business sign, though, how your name is written matters almost as much as the name itself. To choose the right font, follow the guide below.

A Guide to Business Sign Fonts

1. Opt for Sans Serif Fonts

Fonts are grouped into two primary categories: serif and sans serif. Serif fonts are recognizable by the small lines at the ends of each letter. While this makes the font more readable on the page, it can provide unnecessary visual clutter on a business sign. Sans serif fonts keep it clean and simple so that even someone strolling by can spot your business and quickly read the sign.

2. Keep It Simple

3. Don’t Overdo the Capitals

Readability is your prime objective with a business sign, so you might be tempted to put everything in capitals. However, in many cases, all caps can actually make a sign less legible. That’s because capitals are more uniform, so while they create a clean appearance, they can also make it harder to read a sign from a distance. Use a mix of capitals and lowercase letters for maximum signage impact.
