Best Practices & Tips

Design Tips

• Contrast is key: Ensure good contrast between text and background (minimum 4.5:1 ratio for readability)
• Size matters: Use larger font sizes for headlines (60px+), medium for subheadings (40-50px), smaller for body text (24-36px)
• Pair wisely: When combining Kannada with English, choose fonts that complement each other in style and weight
• Test everywhere: Preview your designs on different devices before finalizing
• Keep it readable: Decorative fonts are great for headlines but use simpler fonts for longer text

Technical Tips

• Use Unicode for digital: Always use Unicode fonts for websites, apps, and social media
• Use Nudi for print: Only use Nudi fonts if specifically required by your printing workflow
• Export high-res: For print projects, export images at 300 DPI or higher
• Test rendering: Check how fonts look on both Windows and Mac if cross-platform compatibility matters
• Keep backups: Save font files and color codes for future projects

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using Nudi fonts on websites (they won't display correctly)
• Forgetting to restart applications after font installation
• Using decorative fonts for long paragraphs (hard to read)
• Poor color contrast making text illegible
• Not checking font licenses before commercial use
