There are so many fonts out there, divided into sans serif fonts, serif fonts, or script fonts. From Helvetica to Comic Sans, the list goes on and on, with so many distinctive fonts crafted over the years, forming letters, numbers, and other symbols in their own special ways.
Every font is different. There’s the classic elegance of Times New Roman. The bold, clean lines of Franklin Gothic. The modern and timeless style of Arial. Each font also has certain associations, with some feeling strict and severe, while others are more fun and playful.
In a way, you could say that every font choice imparts a personality on text, and that’s what this “Which Font Are You?” quiz is all about. It lets you find the typeface that suits you best, based on certain elements of your character.
So, which font will you be? Are you fun and playful, like Comic Sans? Elegant and refined, like a fancy script font? Neutral and easygoing, like a sans serif typeface? Or something else entirely? Will your font personality match your favorite font, or might it take you by surprise? Complete the quiz to find out!
FAQs
There are many forms and categories of different typefaces. Sans serif fonts, for example, come without any decorative elements, like little feet or curves (serifs) on each symbol. Serif typefaces, or decorative fonts, have the curves and more elegant, elaborate shapes. Then, there are script fonts, designed to mimic real handwriting or calligraphy. Fonts can also be divided into other groups, like Google Fonts, display fonts, and Adobe Fonts.
The idea of “font personalities” suggests that fonts have certain character associations, based on how they look and how they’re used in general. The average serif font, for example, exudes a kind of trustworthy and traditional personality, while sans serif fonts have more of a clean and minimalistic feel to them. Handwritten fonts feel fun and artistic, while script fonts are elegant and refined. By learning about someone’s character, you can usually accurately guess what sort of font fits them best.
A person’s font choices can also reveal something about them, according to some experts. Fonts influence how people perceive a business or brand’s personality, too, so choosing fonts for company branding is something to take seriously. People whose go-to typeface is Comic Sans, for example, are seen as playful or childish. Those who favor script fonts may give off more of a retro-loving or artsy vibe, while users of serif fonts (like Times New Roman) tend to be seen as formal or even posh.
Our “Which Font Are You?” quiz applies the idea of font personality to a simple quiz format. You’ll answer questions about who you are, the kinds of things you like most, and so on, and we take that info in order to link your personality type with the most appropriate fonts. But there’s no need to take it too seriously—it’s just a fun and interesting way to find out what your chosen font says about you and which typeface suits you best.
While it’s a disputed concept, some people feel that the fonts you use in letters, social media post content, emails to friends, or even your resume can convey certain aspects of your character. Again, this ties into the concept of “font personality,” discussed earlier on in the previous questions. Certain font types feel more fun and playful, while others are stricter or more rigid in their design. People may associate those characteristics with you if you use the same sort of font on a very regular basis.
