Essays are means of communicating, constructive means of spreading awareness. Essay writing is very important since it gives a deeper understanding to the topic, as well as helps us in organising all the points and forming them into paragraph. A five-page essay can be a common assignment in high school, college, and universities.
It can help students develop numerous skills which are required everywhere in academics, like creative skills, logical ones, etc. Writing essays in a way which is creative is very important. To attract people, writing an essay with its own suitable font is also very important. Fonts tell us about the genre of our essay, they are a very important part of writing essays.
Font psychology explains the psychological effect of fonts on readers. Fonts are intended to materialise in writing for printing or display to improve legibility while highlighting specific ideas or moods. The font styles that are used can be used to define the attitude, manner, emotion, proposition, and attractiveness along with providing a character with uniqueness and to make it appealing.
A few of the experts have claimed that most of our evaluation of a merchandise is based on only its packaging, its cover and it all has started with the font which we have used! People come to verdicts about our business within moments which signifies that we have only that one chance to make an amazing and long-lasting first impression. First the font of the title is very important.
A title should always have a different font, size, and colour from the rest of the essay. Since, if the title is attractive then only the people will continue on reading. The font of title should be bold, italic and underlined. It can also be used with beautiful fonts such as Curlz MT, Dreaming Outland pro, Brush Script MT or many more.
The introduction of the essay should have a simple font but the important parts should be underlined. The important parts can also be bold. For example, if I am writing an essay about women empowerment, I would change the font of the line which explains what women empowerment actually means.
Serif fonts should be used for words which are supposed to be very clearly read. These fonts are mostly used for clarity. Serif fonts give us a more traditional imprint but they can still be used to present an air of superiority because of their readability from quiet a distance. Sans serif fonts can be used if words want to be clear too. These fonts make the words very easy to recognise. Even though san serif fonts are preferred to be used for the title.
The main body of the essay should be simple and easy to read since it is the main part which explains most of the important points of an essay. Monospace fonts can be used to write the main body of the essay. They are appealing and pleasing to the human eye since all letters have a gap between each other.
Each character in this font has the same width which makes them uniform. If there is any promotional material in the essay, decorative fonts can be used. Like the fonts used to make logos and others. The decorative fonts can also be used for events.
If we want people to be interested in what we have written, we should use modern fonts since they are catchy and attractive. Script fonts should not be used since they are hardly readable and you have to squint to read them. They can be used to highlight some specific words. In this matter, serif and sans serif fonts are the best.
In the conclusion, we mostly talk about credits and thankyou’s to people. So fonts like calligraphic fonts should be used. Fonts are very important in an essay and we should pay great attention to them. Having said that, we shouldn’t waste a lot of time figuring out the font. We can go with any suitable one, it would look good.
In the modern world, we have hundreds of fonts provided to us. It is difficult to choose a suitable one. So, it would be handy to keep a list of fonts for ourself. That will make our work much faster. Just remember to use beautiful fonts for the title, bold or underline important words, in the body use simple font and in the conclusion while saying thankyou’s decorative fonts can be used. But the rest is up to us, it is not a compulsion to go by these rules.
