Quick definition

Selecting typefaces that work well in thumbnails.

Definition

Font choice refers to selecting appropriate typefaces for thumbnail text. Best practices include using bold, thick fonts that remain readable at small sizes. Sans-serif fonts generally work better than serif fonts. Avoid decorative or thin fonts that become illegible when scaled down.

Examples
  • 1Impact for bold, dramatic text
  • 2Roboto Bold for clean, modern look
  • 3Oswald for condensed, impactful headlines
