Bold fonts with full-screen background images, or superimposed on patterns and textures, used in sliders or on menus and text boxes, present the site visitor or even the casual website skimmer with a message that’s impossible to miss. With all the clutter and chatter on the web these days, it’s become more of a challenge to catch and keep your viewer’s attention.
When using bold fonts, you need to make your message simple and clear – something that makes him stop in his tracks and spend a little longer on the page, or sticks in his head like an effective billboard he whizzes by on his way to work.
Is it distracting? Your objective is to make the visitor read your message. Too many fonts in your headline can confuse your reader abandon the effort to read your text. On the other hand, a little variation in fonts and color can add zing, interest and creativity to your layout. It all depends on the content of your site, and your target audience. Shown below are examples of sans serif, serif and italic fonts in web design, in sizes ranging from large to outsize – drawing attention while adding clarity and simplicity to your message.
