Size
Web design fonts impact the Web site experience. If the size is too microscopic, visitors are unable to read your content; hence defeating the purpose of the marketing communiqué. Moreover, fonts should be sized according to importance. For example, headings, sub heading and body content necessitate a size hierarchy representative of their place on the web page.

Compatibility
If the font is incompatible with the browser, certain visitors will not experience the site the way it’s designed. Select fonts harmonious for Explorer, Safari, and Mozilla’s Firefox. In other words, eight font styles are conducive for almost all web browsers:

•    Arial
•    Courier
•    Georgia
•    Helvetica
•    Tahoma
•    Trebuchet MS
•    Times Roman
•    Verdana

Web design tip: Remember web design fonts should be reflective of your site’s theme. For instance, to conjure an antiquated appearance, consider a serif or retrospective font, such as Times Roman, Georgia or Courier.
