typography & design

text as design element :: typography as you probably know is based on the ability of using text in a visual way – as a design element. This is important with online design/web development.

Whats the best way to mix and match fonts?

1.  Use Serif Text with Sans Serif Headline

When in doubt, pair a serif font for body text and a sans serif font for headlines.
2. Use Contrasting Styles
Avoid mixing two very similar typefaces, such as two scripts or two sans serifs. There is not enough contrast and the small differences will cause a visual clash.
3. Use Fewer Fonts
Limit the number of different typefaces used in a single document to no more than three or four.
4. Use Proportional Fonts (e.g. most modern fonts/typefaces)
Avoid monospaced typefaces for body copy. They draw too much attention to the individual letters distracting the reader from the message.
