Typography 103⁠📖⁠⠀ - By: @tomkoszyk - Last week we talked about choosing the right typeface... now it’s time to make the next step and focus on pairing our typeface with other ones!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Pairing fonts is much easier than you can think. There are very few rules carved in stone you need to remember (x-height for example). That being said, to make a perfect match you’ll need a lot of experience and a good eye. Here are things i consider before pairing typefaces⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ 1️⃣. Do i really need to?⁠⠀ The first question is do you need another typeface? Maybe your goal can be achieved with only one, just used in a good way?⁠⠀ ⁠- 2️⃣. Style⁠⠀ Font styles need to match. There are two ways you can go, either pair fonts with similar style, or choose one distinctive and one neutral.⁠⠀ ⁠- 3️⃣. Variation⁠⠀ If you decide to pair fonts you need to make sure they’re distinctive enough so people can tell difference.⁠⠀ ⁠- 4️⃣. Rhythm⁠⠀ Both typefaces needs to have matching proportions, so it’s not disturbing to an eye, switching between them.⁠⠀ ⁠- 5️⃣. Limits⁠⠀ Do not overdo, limit number of fonts you use!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Do you find it interesting? Would you like to learn more, on that, or maybe not? Let me know in comments!
