A billboard is a large outdoor advertising structure, often located alongside highways or busy streets, where people have limited time to read the content. Therefore, the fonts used should be clear, legible, and easily visible from a distance. This ensures that the information is quickly and easily comprehended by passersby, maximizing the impact and effectiveness of the billboard advertisement.
