Body type
Body type is used in the main text of printed matter. The body type should express the theme of the design. The text must be easy to read and relevant to the subject matter. For example, the typeface of the body type of a wedding invitation should be simple yet elegant in order to emphasize the names but still match the theme of the invitation, as shown in the example on the left. Although important, body type is not the most crucial element in the layout. Body type usually elaborates on the message of the layout.
