Why do YouTubers even need text in their videos?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, don’t be surprised. Aside from the question \u201cwhat font do YouTubers use for subtitles\u201d, many people ask WHY they should spend time and effort on creating a text accompaniment on a video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s quickly dispel your doubts: subtitles on YouTube in 2024 are not just advisable, but needed. Why? There are a couple of good reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the audio quality of a video can leave a lot to be desired. And if you add subtitles, you increase the chance that viewers will catch all the jokes and information you put in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, it is much easier for some viewers to absorb information when it is accompanied by visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convinced? Then here\u2019s our selection of the coolest fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 5 Fonts for YouTube Videos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Monserrat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"Monserrat\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    A fairly traditional font that is often used in both Shorts and long-form videos. Easy to read, ideal for standard thumbnail size<\/span><\/a> and suitable for literally any channel style. Old but gold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Verdana<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"Verdana\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Another classic font with pointed corners. It may initially seem too thin for subtitles, but some variations of the font are perfect for that purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Helvetica<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"Helvetica\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        New, stylish, aesthetically pleasing. The same font that is used even in the logos of large global brands (BMW, for example). An excellent choice for those who are bored with the first 2 options and want something fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Georgia<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"Georgia\u00a0\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          It\u2019s also a serif font. On the bright side: not every YouTuber will dare to use something this unique. Despite the peculiarity of some of the letters, the font will fit perfectly into the subtitle format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Impact<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"Impact\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            This font is the choice of the maximalist in life. Large bold letters, rounded edges. It’s designed to accentuate the lettering on the video. In our opinion, a great choice for channels with dynamic adventure videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
