Choosing the Right Fonts for Your Book


Learn how to choose the right fonts for your book’s interior pages. Explore font recommendations for children's books and follow step-by-step instructions to select and set up fonts in the Made Live platform.

Choosing the Right Fonts for Your Book: Selection and Setup in Made Live

Overview: Selecting the right fonts for your book’s interior pages is crucial to ensuring readability, especially for young readers. Fonts that are easy to read and age-appropriate can enhance the reading experience and contribute to your book’s overall look and feel. In this article, we’ll cover how to choose fonts for your book’s interior, recommend some popular Google Fonts for children’s books, and provide step-by-step instructions for adding and selecting fonts within the Made Live platform.


How to Choose Fonts for Interior Pages

When choosing fonts for your book’s interior, consider the following factors to ensure that your text is clear, legible, and engaging:

1. Readability and Legibility

Fonts should be easy to read, with clear letterforms and good spacing. Avoid overly decorative or intricate fonts that can make it difficult for young readers to distinguish letters.

2. Font Size and Weight

Choose a font size and weight that are appropriate for your audience. For children’s books, slightly larger font sizes (e.g., 14–16pt) and heavier weights (e.g., Regular or Semi-Bold) can help improve readability.

3. Age Appropriateness

Consider fonts that are suitable for the age group you’re targeting. Younger readers may benefit from more playful and rounded fonts, while older readers might prefer cleaner, more traditional fonts.

4. Consistency

Use a consistent font style throughout your book’s interior pages to create a cohesive look. Avoid using too many different fonts, which can distract readers and disrupt the flow of the text.


Recommended Google Fonts for Children’s Books

Here are some popular Google Fonts that work well for children’s books. These fonts are free to use and can be accessed through the Made Live platform:

  • Baloo - A playful and rounded font that is easy to read, making it ideal for picture books and early readers.
  • Nunito - A balanced, rounded font that offers a modern and friendly look, suitable for various age groups.
  • Merriweather - A serif font designed for readability, making it a good choice for chapter books or more text-heavy content.
  • Quicksand - A simple, sans-serif font with rounded edges, providing a clean and approachable style for younger readers.
  • Lora - A serif font with a classic feel, suitable for books with a more traditional or elegant tone.
  • Poppins - A geometric sans-serif font that is highly legible, making it a versatile option for different book types.

How to Add and Select Fonts in the Made Live Platform

Follow these steps to add and select fonts for your book project within the Made Live platform:

1. Navigate to the Storyboard Workspace

From your project dashboard, go to the Storyboard workspace, where you can lay out and design your book’s content.

2. Click on Setup, then Fonts

In the Storyboard workspace, click on the Setup tab in the top menu, then select Fonts. This will open the Fonts panel, where you can choose the fonts you want to use for your project.

3. Browse Google Fonts

In the Fonts panel, browse the available Google Fonts. Fonts are organized alphabetically to make it easy to find and select the ones you want. You can preview each font before adding it to your project.

4. Add Fonts to Your Project

Click on the "Start Using This Font" button next to any font you want to add. This will make the font readily accessible for your project and add it to the list of available fonts in the text editor.

5. Apply Fonts to Your Text

Once you’ve added the fonts, return to your storyboard and select the text block you want to modify. Click on the font dropdown menu in the text editor and choose the font you added. Your selected font will be applied to the text block.


Best Practices for Using Fonts in Your Book

  • Limit Your Font Choices: Use no more than two or three fonts throughout your book to maintain consistency.
  • Create a Visual Hierarchy: Use different font sizes, weights, or styles to create visual distinction between headings, subheadings, and body text.
  • Ensure Accessibility: Choose fonts that are readable and accessible for all readers, especially those with visual impairments.

Final Notes:

Choosing the right fonts for your book’s interior is an important step in creating a professional and reader-friendly experience. Use this guide to select fonts that suit your book’s style and audience, and follow the instructions to add and apply fonts within the Made Live platform. With the right font choices, you can enhance the readability and overall design of your book.
