Newsletter font choice is a deliverability-adjacent decision. Readability directly affects engagement - how long subscribers spend reading, whether they click, and whether they reply. Gmail and other ISPs read those engagement signals and use them to determine whether your future emails reach the inbox or get filtered.
A newsletter font that's hard to read on mobile creates friction. Friction reduces engagement. Lower engagement damages sender reputation over time. The right font for your newsletter isn't just a design decision - it's part of building the kind of subscriber relationship that keeps your emails landing in the Primary inbox.
