Hey everyone, I'm currently working on a logo for a new client and find myself stuck on one key element—typography. I know it can make or break a design, but I’m struggling to figure out how to balance creativity and readability. How do you decide on fonts or type styles that resonate with the brand while staying unique? Any tips, insights, or resources would be a huge help!

Wow, , you really broke it down! I totally agree that typography sets the tone for a brand. I’m not a professional designer, but I’ve always admired how iconic logos—like Coca-Cola or Google—manage to be timeless and instantly recognizable, largely because of their fonts.
I’m curious—what type of brand are you designing for? A playful start-up or something more corporate? I feel like the purpose really shapes the type decisions. Either way, this thread is such a great resource. Can’t wait to see how your design evolves!
Typography is a fundamental element in logo design - it's the first thing people pay attention to. The choice of typeface says a lot about a brand's personality, its values and even its audience. A modern serif font can speak of minimalism and innovation, while a serif font can speak of tradition and sophistication. It's all about aligning the typography in logos with the brand story.
When you need to find balance, I recommend using contrasts. For example, combine a bold font with a simple and clean sans-serif font. Always check scalability - your font should look just as good on a billboard as it does on a business card.
