Recommended Fonts Mar 01, 2017 By Anthony Watson Does anyone have any general recommendations regarding which fonts (and sizes) to use as part of eLearning? Basically looking for suggestions around Header, Footer and Paragraph fonts. Thanks in advance. Anthony.

Phoebe Lu almost 7 years ago05/08/17 at 6:36 pm (UTC) The typography is a critical issue to affect the design as a whole. I used to struggle with this question, and then started to use the font of "Articulate" with SL2 until now. Isn't it the font that articulate suggested? Any suggestions/thoughts? Thanks
