Lessons: 9Length: 42 minutes
Knowing when and how to use a specific typeface can mean the difference between good and bad design. But there are so many typefaces available—how do we know which one to use and when?
This is what you’ll learn in this short course. We’ll take a closer look at typefaces’ styles and their sub-types, see where they come from and how to recognize them, and also learn the best use cases while looking at a few examples.
At the end of this course, you’ll have a much better understanding of typeface styles, and you’ll be able to use them more effectively in your design projects.
