Specialists believe that handwriting can say a lot about a person. I would go a little further and I would say that typography says a lot about a blogger. For example, you cannot be a 5 star restaurant and have a menu written with Comic Sans. Therefore typography has to be hand in hand with your blog’s style and your brand/business attributes. Font type, font size and colour formula are extremely important, so let’s build a comprehensive list with all typography plugins that you can have a look at, before giving your WordPress that glowing touch.
