Typography Establishes Immediate Brand Trust
Website design often focuses on imagery and layout, but copy represents over 90% of your website. If your typography is difficult to read, has poor line heights, or uses generic default system fonts, it causes immediate cognitive fatigue and drives visitors away.
Typography Guidelines for High Conversion
To make your website copy clean, readable, and highly authoritative, apply these styling rules:
- Pick Premium Sans-Serif Fonts: Use modern, highly readable sans-serif typefaces (like Inter Tight or Roboto) for B2B authority.
- Optimal Line Heights: Maintain line heights of 1.5 to 1.65 for paragraphs to ensure comfortable, scannable reading.
- Bold Visual Headings: Use heavy weights and tight letter spacing for headers to command attention instantly.
