In college, I had an amazing typography teacher. Her class was dedicated to teaching us newbie graphic design students about the importance, intricacies, and role of fonts in our world.
I needed this class. I took fonts for granted. A daily necessity for just about everything—I would read things and then get on with my life. I had never taken the time to think about their form, their history and their personalities. Their artful purpose and intent remained subliminal to me until I took this class.

This is a great lesson to apply to your B2B website. Choosing fonts that support your brand message and resonate with your target audience is an essential part of every B2B website.
