-Typography Notes-


  • Too many fonts spoil a design.
  • Font too similar too similar cause ambiguity.
  • Too similar, not enough contrast.
  • Use upper and lower case letters for optimum clarity. 
  • Headlines, title, posters are okay for all caps.
  • Left alignment reads easiest, consider eye flow as it moves down a page.
  • Italics, Bold, Size, Color, Typestyle change (use with discretion).
  • Integrity: Avoid stretching or distorting type
  • Weight: Strive for a sense of balance
  • Kerning-process of adjusting spacing  between letters
  • Tracking-increases/decreases space between letters
