Which item is commonly used on a mood board to communicate typography?

• A. Lighting charts
• B. Script notes
• C. Fonts
• D. Budget figures

Answer: (C)

Typography is shown on a mood board through fonts. A mood board aims to capture the look and feel of the project, and the way text will appear is a big part of that character. By pinning samples of different typefaces and font pairings, you signal the tone and personality—an elegant serif for a premium feel, a clean sans-serif for a modern look, or a playful script for a casual vibe. This helps the team visualise how text will read and look in the final design. Other items like lighting charts, script notes, or budget figures serve different purposes—lighting charts plan illumination, script notes outline content, and budget figures cover costs—so they don’t communicate typography. That’s why fonts are the best choice for conveying typography on a mood board.
