FAQ
Which fonts convert best for birthday sales?
Bold rounded sans with strong numerals. They read at a glance and compress well in small spaces.
Script or signature — when should I use each?
Script is festive and friendly for names & headlines; signature is modern/editorial for subheads and accents. Pair either with a quiet serif/sans.
How do I get perfect numbers for ages and dates?
Choose families with tabular figures (monospaced numerals) so 10/100/1000 align neatly on prices and dates.
Can I use free fonts on items I sell?
Only if the license includes commercial use. Paid options usually include clearer licensing and better hinting/kerning.
