I will answer to all these questions and offer you useful tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, that the font plays a major role. And this happens not only in CVs, cover letters, and resumes, but everywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just imagine a super CV (layout, content, and candidate picture) that uses a super small font. From the very first contact, your brain will automatically get a bad sensation because he finds it hard to read the CV and from that moment impressions start to be created about the candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now imagine a CV that uses a very large font, again your brain will automatically think about the candidate something. Maybe he will think that he used a large font just to fill more pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Let\u2019s see which are the right fonts for CVs, cover letters, and resumes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be easier to follow the insights and recommendations from world experts, I will use a format with bullet points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always keep in mind that common sense is the most important in any font decision you will take and there are not magical formulas that will transform your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are 8 tips to choose the right fonts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nickkolenda.com\/font-psychology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Font psychology<\/a> (the study of how different fonts impact thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) is among the most important parts when choosing the right font.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People have very different thoughts, feelings, and associations with different font types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the principles of font psychology, pick a font that is perfectly adapted to your CV, cover letter, or resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The font should reflect your personality, your job, your way of being, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay super attention on this aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The appearance of professionalism. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on what you need the font for, you should pick fonts that have create the appearance of professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is fine for a personal email to use a casual font, but for a CV, cover letter, or resume you should pick a font that will help you be a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free or paid font? This decision is not as important as you might think.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is great to use a paid font only if it is truly special and you highly believe that it will help you create a much better design and response from your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Font size will have a huge impact on your design.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Font size is extremely important, you can have the best content in the world, if you use a bad font size (too small or too large) you will destroy everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should use different font sizes for headers, sub header, and paragraphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take your time and try different sizes until you find a equilibrium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serif or sans serif?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should sans serif fonts in your CV, cover letters, and resumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sans serif fonts are the perfect choice for these types of creations and for online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serif fonts are best used in print and logos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Font color<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally you should use black on your whole design but there are times when you can combine black with grey and create a much better design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think that you can achieve a better design by combining 2 colors, take your time and do some tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stick to 2 colors and not more, you don\u2019t want to transform your document into a rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The most popular fonts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should you pick one of the most popular fonts? Yes and no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends very much on your document type (CV, cover letter, resume) and on your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a graphic designer and you are creating your CV, best is to use a paid font. You want to convince your audience that you have the right skills and experience in your industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you are an accountant, the font is not important. You only need a font that is easy to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy to read fonts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter what font you pick for your documents, first check it if it is easy to read and understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try it with your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do all the tests, you don\u2019t want your audience to have difficult times when reading your document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I say it again, there are no magical formulas or secrets when choosing the right fonts for CVs, cover letters, and resumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is only common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save the article link and come back to it whenever you need to choose fonts for different types of documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which are the right fonts to use for CVs, cover letters, and resumes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":74476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[646,645,365],"class_list":["post-74475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-about-fonts","tag-fonts-for-cover-letters","tag-fonts-for-cv","tag-fonts-for-resumes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Right Fonts For CVs, Cover Letters, and Resumes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Which are the right fonts to use for CVs, cover letters, and resumes?
