How to Use Cool Fonts
A font is a set of characters that is made up of a certain typeface and size. The most common fonts include Times Roman and Arial. There are many font sets out there that vary in size, shape, color and design. You can even choose themed fonts such as winter sets or Halloween sets. Computers come with a predefined grouping of fonts, but there are many resources available to purchase or get free fonts that can achieve the desired effect, such as making invitations with cool fonts.
