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! |

I, of course, thought this was intriguing. But why advertise to people who are already Christians?...
A few people have mentioned this to me, so I simply had to investigate... Have you gotten ads for Church Candy? Church Candy was started by a man who built an ad agency in a different field. He pivoted and decided to use his skills within the church. He promises that he can get new visitors into your church using online ads. How does he do this? His team will run ads for you on Facebook & Instagram with the primary goal of gathering leads. What's a lead? A lead is someone who sees your ad and...
I've been designing a lot of postcards lately. I let people know about a $1.5k matching grant a few weeks ago through Outreach.com. I also work with a lot of churches that are having their launch services soon. Because of this, I've been working on lots of postcard designs and here is the general idea behind the template I use (that makes web traffic do this): 1) Ditch the paragraph and write for the eye. Take the paragraph of descriptive information that you'd like to put on your postcard...
