hey guys ryan here thank you for joining
me for a new video on a saturday i want
to keep this one pretty brief
in it i just want to share with you 10
of my favorite fonts to use
from canva for print on demand designs
now i've said before you can make
print on demand sales using just good
font selections i swear it's true i've
actually dropped an interview in the
past
with somebody who sold over 300 thousand
dollars on amazon merch
using text designs that he created from
his phone so
trust me it can be done and in this
video i want to give you some font
suggestions
for you to use whether it's standalone
font designs or pairing the fonts with
graphics
so i'm going to go jump on my computer
and we can get started
thanks again for joining me guys if you
haven't started a canva account i've got
a link in the description
that will let you sign up for free one
thing to note if you want to download
transparent png files which
is typically the format you need for
print on demand they do charge for canva
pro however canva is like very popular
and does a lot of things
so i'm not telling you you need to go
pay for canva pro these fonts that i'm
going to be sharing
uh you may find them useful regardless
of if you use canva or not but i just
wanted to say that up front
real quick before we start let me
introduce myself for the new viewers i'm
ryan hoag i've sold over 1.7 million
on amazon to date if you want to follow
the links in the description i've got a
free eight day print on demand mini
course
one lesson delivered to your inbox daily
i've also got a print on demand facebook
community i would love to have you there
there's a link in the description
and if you didn't know i publish income
reports on the first day of each month
you can follow my progress as a print on
demand seller i also share my fba income
merch income kdp uh even youtube
and last but not least i have a full
print on demand course over 70 lectures
it's a full knowledge transfer of
everything i've learned in over three
and a half years doing it
if you'd like to check that out there's
a link in the description as well all
right guys thank you for
bearing with me through that let's talk
canva so if you haven't signed up before
again you can use the link this is what
the signup page looks like it's free to
join
once you're inside go ahead and click
the create a design button it'll be in
the top right corner
i always recommend doing uh this
approach so i'm just sharing with you
like my full approach even though this
isn't related to fonts i figured why not
start from the top so
click custom dimensions and then enter
4500 by 5400 i always use these as my
custom dimensions for
most designs like this is going to be
vertically oriented and these
design styles work best for things like
t-shirts coffee mugs
and um you know similar products to
t-shirts like sweatshirts long sleeve
shirts tank tops etc
all right so once you have uh created
your canvas i always set the background
color to a dark color because i like to
design for
selling my designs against darker
colored shirts
it's just a personal preference i do
believe amazon merch has validated that
those sell best i could be wrong but i
swear i read that once in the resources
section
all right so the first thing i do is i
go to the text option on the left hand
side navigation
then i click add a heading and i drag it
and i drop it
into the canvas that's how i get the
basic text there so i went ahead and i
typed make print on demand great again
this is showing us a lot of character
variations and it's a lot of words so we
can really see these fonts in all their
glory
the first font i wanted to share is
actually the default it's open sans
extra bold now this is not necessarily
an order of preferences
i wouldn't call this my favorite font on
canva but i do love open sans like
prior to me quitting my job as a web
developer i was working you know nine to
five for eight years
doing web development and this is
probably my go-to
font for any new project i just love
this font for websites
granted it doesn't always have to be
extra bold but if i'm doing print on
demand
i love a big bold font family so open
sans
in the boldest form which i believe is
extra bold there might be an open sans
black
actually that might be a little bit
bolder but either way i do like this
font family quite a bit
font number two league gothic i use this
font all the time in canva
i like it because it's bold it's tall
and it doesn't occupy a lot of
horizontal space
which i like because you can squeeze a
lot of words onto one line without it to
me
looking looking bad or looking distorted
so the
lead gothic is one of my go-tos i would
write that one down
all right and then just one thing so by
default the league gothic
line height meaning the vertical spacing
i was not a big fan of so
i just wanted to show you guys if you
click that icon in canva next to effects
it's to the left of effects
you can adjust the line height you can
also actually adjust the letter spacing
as well you can adjust the horizontal
spacing between letters
but you can also adjust the line height
and you can change it
to where it's there's not as much
vertical spacing so
as you can see i did a before and after
there just to show you uh what it looks
like if you decide to
alter the line height in your designs
font number three
impact though i'm just kidding so those
of you guys have been watching my
channel for a while
you know i love impact font impact is
such a low hanging fruit such a basic
font
and i'm a big fan i've sold hundreds if
not over a thousand t-shirts using
impact font and just writing words i
mean it's so simple
uh but they unfortunately don't have
impact in canva
but they do have anton which looks
strikingly similar so you don't really
need impact if you've got a font that
looks
almost the exact same so anton is my
font number three
font number four you guys have probably
seen this uh this font before
i know i have and it's called admin
texture now it's not a
heavily distressed font family however
it does do some distressing and allow
the background color to show through
distressed is where you have that like
grungy sort of like
scraped texture on the characters and
i do have a photoshop tutorial on how to
do that it's on my youtube channel if
you guys want to check that out
but if you uh don't want to do the extra
work you can just go ahead
use admin texture font family and it
will automatically distress the font for
you
font number five another very popular
distressed
characters font family this is called
gaglin
and i really like this one this one's
been growing on me uh it's just big
bold kind of rounded edges fonts and
again distressed so it like it lets a
little bit of the background color show
through and it's got that like
textured um textured look to it that i
swear people love
by the way if you want to find big bold
font families and go exploring for
yourself in canva you can just click
into the uh when you go to fonts a
little sidebar pops up
over the normal sidebar and you can
actually just
type in headings and it will list fonts
that are tagged as headings and filter
out the thin ones so that's not a bad
idea if you're looking for print on
demand fonts
if you're in agreement with me that the
big bold font families tend to sell best
which would qualify as headings
font number six carter one i use this a
lot i use it actually in some of my
youtube thumbnails as well it's a big
bold font it's a little bit unique it's
got those kind of like
i don't know if this would technically
be a serif font
it may be actually um typically with
serif font families think like times new
roman you know how there's those little
icicles that hang off of the sides
those are called serifs this is almost
like a take on a
big really bold font family that has
serifs i don't know if it would
technically count or not but
i just like this font all right and i'm
throwing in a font that i do not like
i decided to sorry cabin sketch but
you're my first victim
as i was scrolling through the many
fonts in canva i decided that
this cabin sketch
so unfortunately like i think i do see
when i'm going through my facebook group
i have a facebook group for print on
demand
and people show some of their designs
like i'm not i don't want to be the guy
who just says
my way is the only way and i don't like
that so i don't usually do that but
uh it is my personal opinion that like
the big bold fonts tend to show better
in search results and again if you want
to get sales guys it's
search find buy you need to get clicked
in search results
amidst a sea of competitors selling the
same thing as you assuming you're in a
niche that has some competition
so if you have like a thin weird-looking
font i'm not liking your chances
of getting clicked in search results
opposed to if you have like a really big
bold font that shows better
so i had to uh hate on cabin sketch a
little bit here
font number seven bangers all right this
one this is one i hadn't used in a while
actually but it came as a suggestion
and i like it because it's got like a
little bit of a comic book theme
to it this one came as a suggestion from
my buddy dominic
go check out his uh youtube channel
baddie's passive income where he talks a
lot about print on demand as well
and if you guys missed it i had him on
for an interview last week
i'll put a link to it uh here in the
corner here to my youtube interview
with him where he shared a story where
he made i think like 2500
profit he did some absurd numbers in a
two-day span on amazon merch but what's
really crazy about his story or at least
the interview
is he pretty much spills the beans he
pretty much shares everything he didn't
hold anything back so show him some love
to his youtube channel
i'll put a link in the description and
also check out our interview if you
missed it
all right font number eight i don't know
how to pronounce this
i'm assuming that that is a silent k and
that it's pronounced
knee wave if it's not pronounced that
correct me in the comments below
but i really like this font i have used
it in my youtube thumbnails quite a bit
and i've used it on some print on demand
products as well i just like the fluffy
like marshmallowy
uh layout of this font
and i had to hate on an ugly font family
quick
side story associated with baloo is uh i
used to actually use this if you go to
my website ryanhog.com
it's kind of like my blog for my passive
income blog i put all my income reports
there i put some content out there about
you know
print on demand merch fba
i used to use this blue font in my uh
like every new post i would make has a
graphic associated with it and i don't
know what i was thinking
but i decided to make baloo font like
the default so
yeah there's some old ugly pictures on
my website with blue font on top of it
and i'm sorry i don't know what i was
thinking back then
at some point somebody knocked some
sense into me and i no longer use this
font but
i'm not a fan i can't do it anymore in
2020 i can't do baloo anymore
all right font number nine luckiest guy
again i don't know what it is about this
font it's big it's bold
it's not too tall i tend to like the
tall fonts so
what's cool about photoshop i don't
think you can do this in canva in
photoshop
i could hit ctrl t on my keyboard and i
think that's like the sku or no no
it's transform and then you can do
something like hold shift and pull it
upwards and i can take a font like this
and scale it to be taller so that's
something that i don't think canva
supports
if it does i haven't been able to find
out how to do it uh but yeah like this
is a font that i might use more in
photoshop make it a little bit taller
just to occupy more space but
uh i do like the like fun playful weird
angles that the letters are cut at
you can see that they i don't know i
like the letter a how it has like two
different angles in the bottoms of the
of the both of the sides of the letter a
it just makes it look fun playful
this would be appropriate for maybe
youth size or youth targeted designs and
niches
and last but not least font number 10
mogra so i've been using this font a lot
on my youtube thumbnails as well
i've definitely sprinkled it into some
print on demand designs
it reminds me of that knee wave font
if we go back a couple slides it's got
that kind of like thick
marshmallowy look but it's not as thick
you know but it's got those rounded
edges
and it's light it's playful it's fun
it's also bold it's easy to read
um actually if you look at the top of
these slides this is the font i've been
using in my slides as well
so one thing about this font that i do
not like and it's not illustrated here
in this picture is that it doesn't
in my mind at least it doesn't contrast
well
with uppercase and lowercase letters
next to each other i do not like the
lowercase letters
at all in this font family so that's one
thing that i would make a note of other
than that though
big fan of mogra all right guys i know
that this was not a definitive list and
it was completely subjective it was all
opinion based
i'm sure that i didn't mention all the
best fonts in canvas so if you guys

your favorite fonts with me i would be
happy to check them out leave me a
