Words have the function of translating the world around us and assigning meanings to what we see, feel or think. When written, the word gains even more strength, because somehow it has been registered and transformed into something physical and “palpable”.
However, when the subject is written tattoo it is not enough just to choose what will be eternalized on your skin, it is also necessary to define the font that will be used for this.
Although it may seem like a mere detail, the font in which the tattoo will be written is very important to reinforce the meaning of the tattoo and harmonize its visual effect.
Regardless of the font style chosen, it is interesting that the font be legible, unless the illegibility is intentional.

Old
More striking, antique fonts hark back to a medieval era, where letters were more drawn and full of cut-outs and details. They look good on Latin tattoos or on phrases that relate to this older style.

Shape
Again, the readability of a font is a very important factor and shaped (or uppercase) letters come out ahead when ease of reading is desired. There are numerous styles of form letters, from the most designed to the simplest, and this is also a style advantage.
In women’s tattoos, block letters look best in smaller phrases, as they allow for easy reading without making the tattoo too aggressive.
