Clear Readability vs. Style & Flourish

[slice&dice 2,450]

There are many choices of font styles (200 or so) pre-loaded in SignBlazer, and I sometimes get in the mood to use the more stylish and creative texts, instead of a more basic or straightforward font.

For example, today I did a few yard signs (18" x 24" on coroplast) that were for an upcoming Christmas Concert, and I decided to go with RAPHAEL ----

I like the look, but it's not the easiest thing to read (at a distance, especially).

Anyway, the customer thought it was delightful, and I said nothing about the 'readability' factor to her.

that is a problem sometimes the customer wants a cutesy design that is hard to read all you can do is inform them then leave it up to them ( as long as you can read the check ) it all works out

The font choice was mine in this case, giving the fancy-schmancy look.

I added a simple Christmas-y graphic, and indeed, it worked out OK.
