FAQ
A meme includes a photo or video along with a block of text. The purpose is to poke fun at an idea or create a humorous message. You might put a question in the top text and a punchline in the bottom with an image that captures the message or joke.
A great meme stands out from the pack, but reflects current trends, jokes and ideas. It’s usually short and simple, with an eye-catching image and minimal text. Use humor that will resonate with your audience. Attach social media buttons to make it easy to share your meme.
A few typical fonts for memes include sans-serif styles like Arial or Helvetica, Comic Sans, Montserrat, Dancing Script or Impact. These are all simple, clear and easy to recognize and read. Meme fonts are often bold, capitalized, in white and outlined in black.
