Design: Typography

There are a few Groups of types of fonts, such as...

1. Serif - letters have marks on the ends of the lines of the letters

2. Sans Serif - letters lack those marks on the ends of the lines of the letters

3. Decorative - letters almost look like pictures, they are so decorated, but you can still make out the letter shapes

Some good practices for designing with Type:

1. Don't use more than 2 types of fonts in a design - if you use Serif and San Serif, avoid Decorative - it gets too crazy!

2. Do use 2 types of fonts to effectively use contrast. Pairings!
