Which Font Should You Select?什么場(chǎng)合該選擇什么字體？

如今，電腦字體庫(kù)的變化日新月異，英文字體的種類(lèi)也日漸增多。英文字體中，常用的字體有Times New Roman字體、Italic字體、Calibri字體等，還有不少英文字體在一些特定的場(chǎng)合也可以選用?，F(xiàn)在，我們一起來(lái)了解一下吧！

The font of a document can go a long way in expressing the underlying feelings or mood behind your communication. Thus， choosing the correct font is an important skill to have in every form of typed communication， from personal notes for your sweetheart to cover letters for job applications.

一份文件的字體對(duì)于表達(dá)你的信息背后所隱含的情感或心情大有幫助。因此，不論是你寫(xiě)給心上人的便條，還是你的求職信，在各種通信中選擇正確的字體都是一項(xiàng)重要的技能。

Heres a guide that will give you a few ideas on where to select the perfect font. But， again， the font you use says a lot about you personally， so use these suggestions as a starting point only.

這里是一份關(guān)于選擇字體的指南，它會(huì)給你提供應(yīng)如何選擇最合適字體的建議。但是，你使用的字體從很大程度上表明了你的性格，所以你僅僅把這些建議當(dāng)作一個(gè)入門(mén)指引就好。

Events， Advertisements and Announcements

活動(dòng)、廣告和公告

When youre putting together an event flyer， poster or other kind of informal announcement， the object of the document is much different than those found in the professional world. You want a font that will make whatever you are communicating highly noticeable.

If you want something a little on the lighter side， check out Bradley Hand ITC or Papyrus. Their curves bring a carefree attitude to readers. Garamond is a very readable option while fonts like Jokerman and Curlz MT are fun and different. You can use whatever size font you deem necessary for your announcement， just make sure its big enough to grab the attention of your intended audience.

當(dāng)你在編輯一份活動(dòng)傳單、海報(bào)或其他日常公告時(shí)，這些文件的受眾與專(zhuān)業(yè)領(lǐng)域的文件受眾大不相同。你會(huì)想要一種不論你表達(dá)什么內(nèi)容都很引人注目的字體。

如果你想要看上去令人輕松一點(diǎn)的字體，你可以選擇Bradley Hand ITC字體或Papyrus字體，它們的曲線會(huì)為讀者帶來(lái)一種暢快的感覺(jué)。Garamond字體是一種非常易讀的字體，而像Jokerman字體和Curlz MT字體，這樣的字體則有趣且與眾不同。對(duì)于你的公告，你可以選擇你認(rèn)為必要的任何字體，只是你要確保這種字體足夠大來(lái)吸引你的目標(biāo)受眾的注意力。

Invitations for Formal Occasions

正式場(chǎng)合的邀請(qǐng)函

Weddings， baby showers， milestones or birthday celebrations are usually occasions that ensure a formal celebration. Your invitations should reflect the formality appropriately. You want the font to be festive and elegant enough to represent the special event that you are celebrating.

Londonderry Air and virtually any Script font are great places to select an appropriate font. On personalized invitations， you dont want the font to be overwhelmingly large， but often times you will need a font larger than 12 point for the fancier fonts to be legible.

婚禮、新生兒迎接派對(duì)、重大事件或生日慶祝活動(dòng)通常會(huì)在正式的場(chǎng)合舉辦。你的邀請(qǐng)函應(yīng)該恰當(dāng)?shù)伢w現(xiàn)這場(chǎng)活動(dòng)的禮節(jié)。你會(huì)想要你邀請(qǐng)函的字體足夠喜慶且足夠優(yōu)雅，可以體現(xiàn)你要慶祝的特別活動(dòng)的特點(diǎn)。

你可以從Londonderry Air字體以及差不多所有的書(shū)寫(xiě)體中選擇一種合適的字體。在個(gè)性化的邀請(qǐng)函上，你可能并不想要特別大的字體，但你往往需要比12點(diǎn)字號(hào)稍大一些的字體，這樣看起來(lái)更清晰易讀。

Personal Correspondence

個(gè)人信件

You can have the most fun selecting your font for any kind of personal correspondence. Whether youre typing a letter to your mother or to a boyfriend or girlfriend， you have the freedom to do it in whatever font youd like.

Be as formal or playful as youd like and do it in whatever size you deem appropriate. Try out a new font like Verdana or Lucida Console the next time you send a thank-you card to your grandmother for the birthday present she got you.

對(duì)于你的各種私人信件，在選擇字體的時(shí)候，你可以獲得很多樂(lè)趣。不論是要給你的母親或男朋友／女朋友寫(xiě)信，你都可以自由地選擇你喜歡的任何字體。

你可以選擇正式或有趣的字體，選擇你認(rèn)為恰當(dāng)?shù)娜魏巫痔?hào)。當(dāng)你下次為了感謝祖母送你生日禮物而給她寄感謝卡的時(shí)候，你可以嘗試一種新字體，如Verdana字體或Lucida Console字體。
