Who doesn’t love to show off school pride? Custom Ink’s favorite way to do that is with custom t-shirts! Whether you want tees for every student, or personalized gear for your math club, the right shirt paired with the right fonts is sure to make you stand out.<\/p>\n

You might already have a school or club logo, or maybe you need to come up with one, either way, the fonts in our Design Lab can perfectly complement your existing art or create something brand new. To get you started, below are Custom Ink’s recommendations for the best fonts for school t-shirts.<\/p>\n

Font Categories<\/h2>\n

First, a quick lesson on fonts. There are two main font styles: serif and sans serif. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A serif font<\/b> has short lines at the ends of the letters, making it look less blocky, one of the most popular serif fonts that you might know is Times.\n
  2. Sans serif fonts<\/b> are just that\u2013a font \u201csans\u201d or without serif. A common sans serif font is Arial.\n<\/ol>\n

    There are also other font categories like script, handwritten, greek, and decorative fonts, which you\u2019ll see in some of our examples below and categorized in our lab.<\/p>\n

    Our Best Fonts for School Designs<\/h2>\n

    The sky’s the limit when it comes to creating custom gear for your school. No matter what you\u2019re making\u2014shirts, hoodies, banners, magnets, or more\u2014we\u2019ve narrowed down our favorite fonts to include the three main styles we know students and teachers look for: fun + trendy, bold + sporty, and academic. In the graphic below, you\u2019ll see some of our favorite school templates<\/a> that use our favorite fonts.<\/p>\n

          Any Teacher, Parent, or Student Can Elevate a Design with Fonts<\/h2>\n

          Not the art teacher? Not a problem! From teachers and students to parents, these fonts will make your design look extra special. Public, private, and boarding schools alike will find the perfect fonts in our Design Lab. Whether you want a personalized look for your kindergarten 100 days of school celebration or head to toe apparel for senior week, our fonts and products put the power in your hands.<\/p>\n

          Pairing Fonts<\/h2>\n

          Almost as important as choosing a font is pairing multiple fonts. Pairing two unique fonts that complement one another gives your design a polished and professionally-made look. You\u2019ll see in our graphic below some of our favorite school fonts to pair together. <\/p>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Pairing Nickname Outline with Nickname seems like a smart choice since they’re in a similar family, but they also make for a cohesive look. The headline is fun and bubbly\u2013perfect for your elementary school class\u2013and the subhead nods to the playfulness of the font, but is clear and easy to read for supporting text.<\/p>\n

          If you’re looking to create something that looks academic but still has some flair, pair Phenix American with Chalet Comprime. Phenix American is an all caps font that’s easy to read, but the rounded edges on the letters and lines that overhang give it more character than a traditional sans serif font. While Chalet Comprime is also an all caps sans serif font, it’s clean and traditional\u2013and having wider kerning, or space between the letters\u2013gives it a styled look.<\/p>\n
