Have you noticed how every “sale” sign is designed using a Red background? Because it instantly commands attention!

There’s a psychology behind the colors we see in the designs around us. Designers and marketers have been using this concept to create more impactful branding designs and advertising campaigns for decades.

Fonts come in all shapes and sizes, but when it comes to poster design, there are certain types of fonts that can help you make bold statements and attract attention. In this post, we feature some of the best fonts for posters you can use to create the perfect poster design.

When creating this collection of fonts, we decided to cover all categories of poster designs and include both formal and casual fonts you can use to design titles, headers, and text for various types of posters. We’re also featuring a set of tips for choosing a poster font to help get you started.

Hopefully you’ll find the perfect typeface that matches your project!
