There is something beyond professional in an \u2018Arial<\/em>\u2019, something beyond elegant in a \u2018Monotype Corsiva<\/em>\u2019 and something beyond fun in a \u2019Comic sans<\/em>\u2019. At a mere glance, fonts can convey a lot of things.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Choosing the right fonts requires some insight. And with video, the insights have to be looked at even deeper.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Video fonts – otherwise called as \u2018Typography<\/strong>\u2019 is different compared to the fonts used in print. Unlike printed text, text in a motion design projects is only visible for a few seconds. So your audience has to be able to read it quickly.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Considering the readability issues, it must be made sure that ultra thin fonts and fonts that are decorative are avoided. Fonts like these can suffer from a phenomenon known as aliasing where pixels can blend into each other, leading to color distortion and difficulty in reading text.<\/strong> So, you need to have an understanding as to what type of fonts you have to choose for a VIDEO and for printed text.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We at Animaker had many brainstorming sessions before we compiled our library of fonts. We have picked out a few of the best fonts that work well with VIDEOS & GIFS<\/a>, and have listed it down for your readers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Many of our users have been asking us about which font styles would work well for them in their videos. So, we decided to share our insights on how we chose our fonts for videos to everyone. So, next time you make a video<\/a>, you need not have to think about choosing a font<\/em>, you can just pick<\/em> one from here.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Serif or Sans Serif ?<\/h3>\n

Refer the image below to understand which is which.<\/p>\n

\"serif<\/p>\n

One of the first determinations to be made when selecting a typeface for text is Serif or Sans Serif?<\/p>\n

Many experts say that Sans Serif fonts are a better typeface recommendation in videos<\/strong> as they appear bold and neat while they transit.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Serif on the other hand is a font commonly used for the print media. The letters adorned in strokes gives an outlook of a classic style mixed with a modern imprint and it goes well with newspapers.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The other classifications of the font family consists of Scripts and decorative<\/strong>. Scripts are what we might think of as cursive or handwriting-style fonts. They generally have connected letters. You\u2019ll find that script fonts come in many different styles, from elegant, to fun and casual, to hand-drawn.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

When you hear a font categorized as decorative, display, or novelty, it all means the same thing \u2014 that font is meant to get your attention. They\u2019re often more unusual than practical and should only be used in small doses and for a specific effect or purpose.<\/p>\n

The personality of a font<\/h3>\n

Typography is a visual summary<\/strong>. You make the words convey the emotion. There is something in the way the tracking, the leading and the kerning of an alphabet moves. Together it defines the \u2018mood\u2019 and \u2018personality\u2019 of the fonts. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

For instance, you want to choose a stylish font for the name of the website. You surely would not opt for a boring Arial, or a Calibri font for the font design. Instead, you would go for something snazzy and unique; something that conveys the site\u2019s ambience by its very look and displays the zeal the name carries.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Yes. Fonts have a personality. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We have thus categorized fonts from our very own Animaker library to share our insights on which font would suit your video the best under different scenarios.<\/p>\n

Being Formal in Presentations<\/h3>\n
