For Law Firms & Financial Services
Opt for classic serif fonts like Georgia, Times New Roman, or Merriweather. These fonts convey tradition, trust, and formality.

Font Selection Best Practices
1. Prioritize Readability
Always choose fonts that are easy to read, especially for numbers and financial information. Avoid overly decorative fonts that sacrifice clarity.
2. Match Your Brand
Select fonts that align with your brand identity. If your website uses a specific font, consider using the same or a similar font for consistency.
3. Consider Your Industry
Different industries have different font conventions. Law firms typically use serif fonts, while tech companies prefer sans-serif. Choose accordingly.
4. Test Before Finalizing
Use the live preview to see how your font looks with actual invoice content. Some fonts look great in headings but may be harder to read in body text.
5. Keep It Simple
One font per invoice is usually best. Mixing multiple fonts can look unprofessional. The font you select applies consistently throughout the entire invoice.
Understanding Font Categories
Modern Sans-Serif
Clean, contemporary fonts without decorative strokes. Perfect for modern businesses, tech companies, and startups.
Classic Serif
Traditional fonts with decorative strokes. Ideal for established businesses, law firms, and formal industries.
Monospace
Fixed-width fonts where each character takes the same space. Perfect for technical invoices and structured data.
Common Font Mistakes to Avoid
1. Using Too Many Fonts
Stick to one font per invoice. InvoiceGen applies your selected font consistently throughout, which is the professional approach.
2. Choosing Decorative Fonts
Avoid overly decorative or script fonts that sacrifice readability. Your invoice needs to be easy to read, especially for financial information.
3. Ignoring Industry Standards
While creativity is good, consider your industry's conventions. A law firm using a playful font might not convey the right message.
4. Not Testing Readability
Always preview your invoice with the selected font. Some fonts look great in samples but may be hard to read with actual invoice content.
