It is really important to get 3 things right when it comes to font:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"outline: none;\">Originality: very commonly used fonts (e.g. Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica\u2026) will often make a design feel more amateur to a customer (and to a moderator). Because these fonts are so easily accessible, they make it look like less effort went into a design &#8211; the last thing we want is for a customer to think \u201cI could have done that myself.\u201d<\/li>\n<li style=\"outline: none;\">Balance: we covered this in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/moderation-101-part-2-design-and-visual-checks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Moderation 101: Part 2<\/a>. The font style has to work with the illustration style for the whole design to look cohesive. For example, if you have a very cute, bubbly illustration with lots of rounded shapes, a font that has sharp, 90\u00b0 angle corners is likely to look out of place. Ensuring the different elements of the design don\u2019t look disjointed ensures a visually cohesive design that is likely to appeal to more customers.<\/li>\n<li style=\"outline: none;\">Readability (covered above)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75e0987 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"75e0987\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-adb075b\" data-id=\"adb075b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-658768c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"658768c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.)

Sometimes we will question a design based on it looking more like a meme or a print than a greeting card. When we\u2019re evaluating a design, in order to merchandise it properly and help customers find it, we need to truly know what purpose it\u2019s fulfilling as a greeting card. This doesn&#8217;t mean every birthday card needs to have the word \u201cbirthday\u201d on it or reference ageing, but we need to be able to identify a situation\/occasion and a relationship between sender and recipient that makes it impactful as a greeting card.

In other words, we see what you\u2019re trying to do, but we don\u2019t think it works effectively. When it comes to funny designs, we usually understand the joke, but we don\u2019t think it\u2019s very funny; when it comes to heartfelt designs, we don\u2019t feel like they pull on the heartstrings enough; when it comes to arty or design led cards, we might think they look too basic or amateur.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"outline: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.1px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">When we moderate, we don\u2019t just think of the design in question, we also have to consider what other designs it\u2019s likely to sit beside on the website when customers scroll through to find their perfect card. As a result, we need to consider whether the card would add to the catalogue, bringing newness and standing out, or whether it would be outshined and missed amongst the rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"outline: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.1px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Especially when it comes to simple designs or designs that rely on greeting card cliches (e.g. popular puns, otters holding hands\u2026), it\u2019s not likely for a new design to be original, which means it needs to feel sufficiently different from existing ones to be considered for the catalogue. Otherwise, we just end up overwhelming our customers with too many choices of slightly different designs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"outline: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.1px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">On the other hand, designs that are hyperspecific are also called into question during moderation due to their nicheness and unlikely commercial potential.
