Finding the perfect font for Unity was a journey. I started with several options but ultimately chose Poppins. I initially considered Montserrat for its sleek, modern look, but it felt too rigid for the spiritual tone of the app.
Welcoming Design: Poppins feels warmer and more inviting.
Clear Readability: Poppins ensures easy reading on all devices.
Versatile Use: Poppins works well in various UI elements and VR.
