There are many different elements to creating a great logo. One of these elements is picking the right font.

Fonts vary in many ways. However, the best fonts have similar features. These include:

Even Kerning
Legibility
Consistency
Balance

Kerning is the space between two characters that makes it easy to read. Kerning is easy to understand. Designers may manually kern based on their judgment. Certain letter combinations require a designer to bring out the best from the logo. The spacing and letter shape needs understanding and expertise.

Legibility is the function of a typeface design that shows the ease in distinguishing one character from another. The font needs to be transparent without creating too much attention. It should neither be too bold or light to ensure it is unrestrained. Legibility is affected by the shape of the characters, stroke contrast, size of counters, serifs, x-height, and weight.

There has to be consistency in typography and design ensuring that the styling font has the same information. The theme of the design should be the same overall even with many levels of hierarchy. Alignment of the text and logo goes hand in hand with consistency.

Balance font ensures there is a balanced blend of heavy and light shade. It also seeks to have a well-balanced thickness of the font.
