Selecting the Right Font for Your Design

We all know choosing the right font/typeface has a big impact on the success of any design project. Selecting fontsThough selecting the right typeface is mostly done by intuition by designers, there are some conventions or pricnciples established in the design industry in this regards. Recently I came across a very good article “What Font Should I Use?”: Five Principles for Choosing and Using Typefaces” on www.smazingmagazine.com on this.

Dan mayer, the author of the article, explains well some principles of selecting the right typeface for a design work. Mayer writes about five rules of selcting a typeface. He has catergerized the huge variety of available fonts into five basic categories making the process much easier. It is a good artcle to read for all designers as well as for you, general readers; because even in selecting the fonts for your office correspondences these informations can be uselfull for you. Happy reading!
