			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how well you think your website is designed, it can all be wasted effort if your typography isn&#8217;t up to scratch &#8211; and I don&#8217;t just mean typography within graphics. Your website content should always be in a readable, web-safe font which is appropriate for the subject matter.</p>
<div id="attachment_448" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 220px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-448" href="http://www.edgeoftheweb.co.uk/blog/2010/04/27/dont-ruin-your-website-with-bad-typography/welcome/"><img class="size-full wp-image-448 " title="welcome" src="http://www.edgeoftheweb.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/welcome.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="175" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">How not to do it.</p></div>
<p>Nothing ruins the credibility of a business quite like content in the &#8220;Comic Sans&#8221; font. Not only is it unprofessional, it&#8217;s ugly and outdated. But the font family isn&#8217;t your only concern &#8211; the size of the text can also make or break your website.  No one wants to use a magnifying glass to read your website, but at the same time, no one wants single words to fill up the entire screen.</p>
<p>A web-safe font for content is also imperative. A web-safe, or &#8220;browser-safe&#8221; font is one which is a font found on all operating systems by default, and although the embedding of fonts can be done using JavaScript or the @font-face rule , it is best avoided for large blocks of content.</p>
<p>Always ensure that you choose the right font for your business in order to create the right impression.</p>
