Guide to choosing fonts that are truly worth it!

Ever found yourself wondering if a font is really high quality or if it just looks good in the preview? Don't regret your purchase! Here are some key things to check before buying a font to make sure you're getting the best.

A high-quality font has well-designed characters, consistent proportions, and a harmonious overall look. Check if any letters seem off or out of place compared to the rest.

Good fonts usually come in multiple weights and styles (Thin, Regular, Bold, Italic, etc.), not just a single version. Fonts with multiple variations are called font families because they offer different styles within the same typeface.

Some fonts also include extra styles within a single file, such as italic, texture, gradient, shadow, and more. The more style options available, the more flexible the font is for different design needs.

Premium fonts often include ligatures, alternate characters, or even swashes, giving you more creative freedom and a unique look for your designs.

Before buying, it's best to try the font in the type tester box. Every font on Burntilldead Studio has one! Type in words or sentences you often use to see how the font actually looks.

A high-quality font will always have proper kerning (spacing between letters) to ensure readability. If the letters look too tight or too far apart, it may be difficult to use in real designs.

Make sure the font includes OTF (OpenType) or TTF (TrueType) formats. If the package includes WOFF/WOFF2, that’s even better since you can use it directly on websites.

Always check if the font's license fits your needs. Some fonts are only for personal use, while others allow commercial use. Be sure to read the terms before purchasing to avoid any legal issues.

Buying fonts is an investment in your designs, so make sure you get the best! By keeping these tips in mind, you can avoid low-quality fonts and choose ones that are truly worth it.
