For example, a hand-drawn font generally conveys light moods, whereas modern typefaces express style and strength. Similarly, a wise selection from sarif and sans sarif fonts is advisable. While designers generally use sarif fonts to communicate less serious messages, they use sans sarif to put some hard messages across.
Similarly, some fonts look exceptionally hard and lack in energy and enthusiasm. On the other hand, a clear and easy-to-read font like Arial fills the reader with energy and enthusiasm. At the same time, there are some fonts that have geometrical clean shape and look modern.
