In a print PSA promoting the use of seatbelts, which font would be best to use, and why? An edgy, stylish font, which makes the
information in the PSA seem more up to date. A simple, legible font, which makes the information in the PSA easier to read. A fancy, cursive font, which makes it seem that great detail was given to the PSA’s creation. A gothic, old-fashioned font, which makes the information in the PSA seem more credible.
The best font choice to use would be one that gets the point across quickly and efficiently, since the topic involves the reader’s safety. The answer choice that best represents this is “a simple legible font, which make the information in the PSA easier to read.”
When speaking of safety, it is important to make sure hat the message is clear and able to be understood, rather than stylish or difficult to read. Fancy, stylish, or cursive fonts could potentially distract from the message being broadcasted by the poster, and old-fashioned fonts don’t have much of a direct correlation to the credibility of the information. So, the best font for the purpose of the PSA would be answer choice B.
