    In this typography video, we’ll walk through the basic terminology of type so you understand what I’m talking about and then we’ll launch into how exactly I go about pairing fonts, getting proper size, weight, style, and balance. How much does the contrast of the text matter? What generally goes together well? What are some bad things that you should avoid? We’ll cover all that and more!

  • @Wakeupgrandowl
    @Wakeupgrandowl Před 6 lety +7

    Strangely, I have a soft spot for *Georgia*
    It's my favourite serif font. It's the numbers that drop below the baseline that really cemented it for me. A little quirkiness in a really clean, beautiful font.

    • @tutvid
      @tutvid  Před 6 lety

      Georgia is nice. I dig a little Georgia here and there when it works for me. Quirkiness is good!

    • @RaymondHng
      @RaymondHng Před 4 lety

      That's because the strokes of the numbers that drop below the baseline and the strokes that go above the x height give the appearance of descenders and ascenders in lower case letters.

  • @principeturandot4593
    @principeturandot4593 Před 6 lety +15

    “Garamond” is the gold standard font for me. It’s clean and professional on screen, yet, still has character, and it’s soft on the eyes, a joy to read, when printed on paper.
