Lets choose a font:
Heading:
I think it is important we have different fonts for the headings and the body text. It will be more aesthetic to the eye, and will be more of a vocal point to catch the attention of the viewer. Additionally, I think it is important that all headings have a font with the Montessori Aa. The heading is the first thing people read. Thus, it is important that the font aligns with our business.
In all examples below the size of the font is the same. The headings are 34 and body text is 15. These fonts appear on Microsoft Clipchamp and Canva. I could not find any fonts on Word or PowerPoint that had a Montessori Aa that Elementor also has.
Poppins
This font is a popular choice for small screens. It is simple. It has a very geometrical shape. It is playful and modern, yet still with a professional feel. Because of the roundness of the letters it is very readable and bold. Could be good as a body text as well, but I feel because of the roundness it takes up a lot of space.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Josefin Sans / JOSEFIN SANS
I think this is a good font for headings because it has a very strong presence, because of the sharp edges. I am a little concerned it is to sharp as it seems a but more aggressive, and Montessori doesn’t represent that. It is still a playful and artistic font.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Quicksand / QUICKSAND
I like how delicate this font is. It is very fluent, but still structured. The edges are not sharp, which gives it a less harsh feeling. I don’t know how Montessori it is and if you are wanting something more bold. In my opinion the lightness makes it less direct to the reader, and more, “Would you like to read this”, rather than, “Read this”.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Body Text:
Spartan
Spartan, sometimes called League Spartan, is a simple font that has both a round shape and boxy edges. It is easy to read, and gives a very structured appearance.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Text that appears everywhere:
Times New Roman
This is a universal font. Found everywhere. I think the letters are to cramped, but it is possible on some apps to expand the distance between letters. I don’t think it is very readable in large paragraphs.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Arial
Found everywhere!!!! My favourite for body text. I don’t like it for headings at all. This text is often used by schools because of its readabilty. The Aa is not the Montessori way, but as a body text I don’t think it matters that much. As long at the heading has the Montessori Aa I don’t think it is that important. I have looked at the other Montessori product websites and some of the don’t have the Montessori Aa in their body text, but it very popular in headings.

Comic Sans
Comic Sans, or Comic Neue, is found everywhere.. It is on Elementor, Microsoft Clipchamp, Canva, and Word and PowerPoint! It also has the Montessori Aa. I don’t think the readability is very good as body text, and as headings it is to delicate. It is possible to adjust the weight of the font (below I have adjusted the weight to semi-bold).
