You can create the most amazing charts without any text since the main purpose of any chart is to show a trend. Having said that, text plays a very important role in charting, and although we do recommend you keep text at a minimum, you’ll end up with some text in the form of the legend, some data labels, axis titles, etc. Having said so, nothing looks as bad as text that is too small or too huge on a chart, and balance plays a key role in the aesthetics of text in a chart. Yet many people don’t know how you can format text in a chart.
