The 3 Typefaces RULE
As a beginner it’s a good idea to start with 2- r 3 typefaces total for one layout or design.

USE HIERARCHY
Use typographic hierarchy and emphasis to mix different typographic weights, color, spacing, capitalization, etc. Working with these elements creates hierarchy, contrast, rhythm, movement, and visual interest.04.
CONTRAST is IMPORTANT
Consider trying a typeface that was created as a typographic family that has different sub-styles like Thin, Light, Bold, Black, Italic,HIERARCHY

TYPEFACE SELECTION
Selecting an appropriate typeface is not easy at first. It takes a trained eye and studying numerous typefaces. There are many successful and well designed typefaces but there are many more typefaces that are not well designed.07.
USE NEGATIVE SPACE
As designers Negative Space (or Negative Noise) is very important. Utilizing negative Space, Margins, and other moments of pause helps the viewer see the compositional components more clearly.08.

DISPLAY TYPEFACES
Display Typefaces are for headlines or specific areas of interest or even typographic illustration.10.
SCRIPT vs. HAND- WRITING
If you want something to appear handwritten then hand write it and scan it in. It’s very difficult to select a typeface that is designed to look hand written and make it look sophisticated.11.
ALL CAPS
Setting type in All Caps makes the text less- legible. There are some situations where All
- headings. practicaltypography.com/all-caps.html
12.
LEADING
If you set the type using traditional calculations the leading should be set at 120–145% of the point size. Examples below: Text Size = 9 Calculation: 9 x 1.20= 10.8 Leading = 10.8 (120%) Text Size = 7 Calculation: 7 x 1.20= 8.4- headings. practicaltypography.com/all-caps.html

OLD STYLE NUMERALS

AVOID THESE
Avoid typefaces that are not designed well. Some of these include: Papyrus, Curlz, Comic Sans, & others...15.
DISTORTING TYPE

17.
DEFAULT FONTS
Generally adjust default fonts. Select a legible, minimal typeface for Body Text.18.
MIXING MOODS
Be careful about mixing typographic moods. Although it’s possible to mix aesthetics you want to create unity and harmony in a layout.19.
Avoid WIDOWS & ORPHANS
Know the terms typographic Orphan and typographic Widow and avoid these scenarios like the plague. Widows and Orphans are amateur mistakes.20.
Avoid RIVERS
Rivers are to be avoided. When looking at a body of text avoid sporadic spacing between words that create “rivers”. Typographic Rivers are commonly created when justifying a paragraph of type. Be careful about justifying type.21.
CENTERING TYPE
Centering type is a beginners mistake. Although centering type can be a beautiful and sophisticated choice. It’s very hard to do until you have an advanced knowledge of visual spacing.22.
SPACED TYPE
Spaced type, like adjusting the tracking, can add an atmospheric effect to the aesthetic- f the typographic styling. It’s safe to space

Personalities
Each typeface has a unique mood and personality that communicates a message. Selecting a typeface that fits your project is extremely important.25.
