Using the fonts
A front label needs to catch the eye. An instruction needs to be understood. Start with the task, then choose a face whose proportions and size range suit it.
01 / Logos & shop identities
The little shop
Gently flared strokes and open forms give a short name the rhythm of signwriter lettering. Try Sallet Regular for a shop identity, a menu title or a product name.
Start at 24px or larger on screen. Check the exact name in mixed case and capitals, then inspect its smallest use. Keep a separate setting for addresses, opening hours and other supporting information.

Good things inside
Mallow Yard's generous serif forms suit a welcoming product name or a few words on the front of a pack. Give the lettering enough space to hold its shape beside a photograph or illustration.
Use Regular from 24px on screen. Treat this as the prominent voice of the pack. Set ingredients and small instructions in a reading face, and check the finished label on its chosen stock and at its actual size.

There was time for one more page.
A compact reading serif for articles, newsletters and practical editorial pages. Regular keeps the paragraph composed; the separately drawn Italic provides a change of voice for emphasis.
Begin with 14–18px screen prose. Try a complete paragraph with real punctuation and links. Adjust the line length and leading in the layout. Choose the Regular + Italic family if the piece needs both styles.

Your next visit
Broad shapes, open counters and gently softened corners suit service screens and onboarding. Roundhay is available in Regular, with a steady texture for labels and short explanations.
Start at 14px for labels and 16–18px for paragraphs. Test long button text, error messages, numbers and zoomed layouts. Use spacing and clear headings to establish hierarchy; the release does not include a Bold style.

One more song
Broad, square-countered lettering brings a short headline forward. Use Regular on its own, or add the matching Shadow behind it for two-colour lettering.
Start at 48px or larger on screen. For the layered effect, use identical text, size, baseline, spacing and OpenType settings in both layers. The Shadow file is a backing layer; the Regular + Shadow family supplies both.

Words, pictures & a little music.
Broad counters, a large lowercase and short extenders make Fenham a useful candidate for credit lines and supporting information. Its catalogue role is captions, charts and small screen text.
Its screen guidance is 12–14px for short captions and 16px for paragraphs. Choose video sizing by the final frame and viewing distance. Review playback over the busiest background and after compression; a static browser sample cannot settle that choice.

The size suggestions above are screen starting points in CSS pixels. For print, proof the lettering at its physical size; for video, review the final export at its intended resolution and viewing distance.
Put in the longest name, the awkward number and the line with all the accents. View the smallest text at its intended size. Check light and dark backgrounds, line breaks and any characters that the tester flags as missing.
Use the actual released style wherever the work needs it. If a family includes an Italic or Bold, select that font file in your application. The product page lists the available styles and their character sheets.
