Practical Design Notes: What to Test Before Committing

• Test in black and white: Ensure the font remains legible and maintains its visual appeal without color.
• Check small-size readability: Look at how the font looks at 12px or smaller—this is crucial for digital assets and print materials.
• Try on real mockups: See how it interacts with other design elements in context.
• Compare uppercase and lowercase: Make sure the proportions and spacing are consistent across all letterforms.
• Review spacing: Pay attention to kerning and tracking to avoid awkward gaps or tight clusters.
• Test beside other fonts: Pair it with serif, sans serif, script, handwritten, and display fonts to find the best combinations.
• Confirm commercial licensing: Always verify that you have the right to use the font commercially before sharing it with clients or using it in business projects.
