Discover the importance of good fonts for event sites

Fonts for event sites? Is this really important? Absolutely. Read below why and how you can best approach it. Are you organizing an (online) business conference or is the corporate identity of your organization fairly business-like? Then the look & feel of your event website will naturally match that.
