Sans Serif Fonts: Most Popular Typefaces, Best for Webfonts
If you’re developing elearning courses one of the common decisions you have to do is what type of font you should use.
The general rule is follow the style guide. However, there are certain reasons that you will not have a style guide or, if you’re lucky, you will have the opportunity for innovation. For whatever reason, to choose a sans-serif font is the best bet as it displays text really well on screens.
A example of sans serif font is Futura, but maybe you’re considering try other sans serif fonts. Check the following links as they provide the most popular sans serif fonts you can use for your elearning courses.
