Default Question about fonts in yearly books

Do you tend to use the same font for your journaling throughout an entire book, or do you change it up? I have just started with a 2012 book and don't really like the font I started with and can easily change it since I haven't flattened my layers, but I was just wondering if you keep it consistent or change it up.

Obviously the world isn't going to end tomorrow if I have a mixed bag of fonts in my album, lol.

Oh, I struggle with this, too. I like the uniformity of the same fonts throughout an album, but, I rarely stick to that concept. I think it is a nice touch to have the fonts the same, but, I would go ahead and use a mixed bag if I were you.

For themed albums like 365, Project Life or December Daily I keep the same font. But, in my family album I change the font constantly. I think it works either way

I keep the journaling font the same through my travel-books.
But for my yearly projects, I mix it up and use whatever I feel like for every occasion.

I haven't done a Project365 yet (thinking about it and taking photos this year), but if I would, I would use the same font through that entire project for my journaling.

I am keeping the same for my project Life album, however, I have NEVER kept the same font for my other family pages. I do seem to get on a roll with one for a few eeks then change it, lol.

For my December Daily album every page (but one) had the same font! All of my other books, with regular everyday pages, changes!

On my 365, I used different templates and found that some of them had fonts that I personally didn't find all that readable. I did keep to matching templates for left and right pages, a page a week, and tried to keep the same font for matching pages. I suspect I didn't but hey...it got finished!

And that's what matters the most - the finished product!

Thanks everyone!
