Fantastic Fonts Video
Early in 2020 I was delighted to be a finalist in the Digital Women of the Year awards (read more here) and it was great to be welcomed back to their learning platform to host a talk about fonts and design as part of the online May learning summit. I’m sharing the video here and hope you find it useful!
This short video explains
the anatomy of fonts and a top tip if you’ve run out of space for your text
categories of fonts - san serif, serif, slab, script and decorative with examples
how to measure fonts
how to choose appropriate fonts and three important considerations
structuring your font choices on your website or print project
weights of fonts and why they matter
fonts and languages
pairing fonts with suggestions you can try
UX and fonts
where to buy fonts and a couple of free sites
I hope you enjoy it and find it useful! If you have any questions about design and use of typography in print or digital please drop me a line on social media or by on the contact form. To find out more about Digital Women and join, click here.
