Verdana Bold +2

This font is Verdana at its default size. It is very easy to read.

Text

Body copy can go on and on but it's important to break-up the information with a bit of white space or a picture now and then.

Attention

The use of bold text headings can direct the reader's attention. Try to help your readers find information easily.

Brevity

The use of short paragraphs is a must if you want anyone to read what you say. Too much copy without these line breaks can cause your readers to skip the text entirely.

Try to resist mind-numbing color combinations.


Too many fonts make for bad design! Stick to one primary and one secondary font.

Red on black may seem like a good idea, however; you might want to think about other color combinations too.
