Look at the snapshot below..one of my new blog have a bounce rate of just 14.68% from organic visitors.
Hey Dear,
Are you a blogger but not getting traffic and less bounce rate and want to make your content more attractive?
Well, this is a common problem for very new blogger.
But wait, I have a great solution to this problem. A right font can help you a lot in increase readability, which results in more traffic.
Choosing the best blog font from thousands is quite difficult but trust me, At the last of this post you will get a couple of best fonts for the blog.
The Psychology Of Fonts (Human Behavior To Fonts)
According to an experiment done by Norbert Schwarz and Hyunjin Sang proof that fonts are actually mattered to boost readability.
To understand this psychology you have to do a small task i.e. read the text in both of the images.
Have you read the text in the images? If yes, then what is difference
I am sure the text written in Arial font is much easier to read at first glance but at the same time, the text written in brush font is actually very difficult to read at the first glace.
This same experiment is done by Norbert Schwarz and Hyunjin Sang on two groups..
What do we conclude for this small task?
As a blogger we should make our content more readable and attractive.
Hence using the best fonts for blogs is very important.
What Is Perfect Size For The Blog Fonts?
Now we know that the best fonts for the blog are actually very important but what should the best font size?
Well, I have seen many sites with a font size of just 11-12 px, which is actually very difficult to read.
So I always prefer you to keep your content font size 15-18 px honestly, I know it little bit bigger but usually people feel easy to read at this size.
Hence, Keep your font size 15-18 px.
