When you’re trying to go viral on TikTok, investing in the production quality of your videos is a no-brainer. But camera equipment, editing tools, and a reliable ring light can only take you so far. To make your videos memorable, you need attention to detail. Now there are so many personal touches you can add to make your TikToks FYP-worthy, and one of my personal favorites is font choices! If you choose to include text in your videos, CapCut has so many fun fonts that I must tell you about. So say Sayonara to Comic Sans or Times New Roman. After all, this isn’t a research paper.
But speaking of research, there is an entire field of psychological study dedicated to font choices. The Kolenda Font Model is a professional marketing tool that predicts how people react to certain fonts. For instance, people associate tall and thin fonts with polished, fashionable brands and chunky, bold letters with strength and grit. Even the spacing between letters can make a huge difference, with closer together letters giving the impression you are cozy and connected. Readability plays a huge role as well. Have you ever seen someone who got a little too playful with their font choice to the point that you couldn’t understand what they were even saying?
All of this can be a little confusing, so that’s why I’ve done the research and selected several of the best CapCut fonts for TikTok videos that I love, breaking down what they’re best used for, and what your viewers will associate them with.
