My favorite Google & Canva fonts
I have a font-buying addiction.I'm no stranger to Creative Market's font section. Getting to classify my impulse purchases as business expenses? Dangerous. Sometimes, though, it's nice to have a fallback that's completely free. If your brand does not have defined font styles and you're hoping to become a little more consistent, this might be a great place to start. Here are five of my favorite free typefaces, suggestions for how to use them, and a handy tip for getting your sizing just right. Plus—They're all available in both Google and Canva, so you're ready to start designing without having to download or import anything. Ok, are you ready for that trick I mentioned? Have you ever felt like your heading/subheading sizing was just... off? Try this easy trick to get it honed in: 1) Your subheading font height should be 1/3rd of your heading height. 2) Then, when you stack them atop each other, your subheading should be one subheading's-worth-distance from your heading. Like so: Bam! Perfectly proportioned for the human brain. Don't ask me why—it has to do with the golden ratio. That's all for now! Do you have a favorite free font? Let me know by replying! |

Let's dive into a crash course on all things domains. Boring? Maybe. Likely to be useful to you at some point down the road? Definitely! First, what's a domain? A domain is a fancy name for your URL—or the link to the homepage of your website. It's also what your custom emails would live on. Ex: churchname.com, principal@schoolname.com Domains typically cost between $20 and $40 per year to maintain ownership. Pretty cheap. For this reason, people will commonly buy the .com, .org, and .net...
