    Being a designer i have noticed that each and every font say something like they are showing happiness,boldness etc.

    Do you think so?

    I dont think all do, i understand what you mean, some can help express a certain type of mood.


    Some are quite plain, and some are plain daft to be honest.

    They are but not all of them. Some will help the word express or show its mood, but some are just simple and clean.

    Yes of course.
    If you are using different font style
    they also shows expression.
    Example you choose Comic Sans, its shows childish attitude for me.
    what do you think?

    when the fonts start talking to you, it time to switch off the photoshop and go to sleep, stay of the black coffee and the hot sauce. :)

    They really are.

    It also depends on what you are showing your making you feel in your website.

    Mostly for professional sites we normally use simple fonts like Tahoma,Verdana,Arial etc.

    Yeah fonts can show intent, feeling and identity but there are allot of garbage fonts out there. I recommend you check this movie out called helvetica. It is about the guy who designed the helvetica font. You should hear him talk about typefaces.
