Font Friday. Our weekly celebration of the beautiful and nerdy world of typeface. In the words of J.H. Mason "Type is like music in having its own beauty, and in being beautiful as an accompaniment and interpretation ; and typography can be used to express a state of the soul, like the other arts and crafts. But like them it is too often used mechanically, and so the full expressiveness of this medium is unrealized. If it is used according to a rule or recipe, it becomes dull and loses vividness. Type appears at first to be a rigid medium ; but like other rigid media, it is plastic to the living spirit of a craftsman."

There are three steps involved in selecting the most appropriate typeface or font for your design project: 1. Figure out if your message is Formal or Casual. 2. Think about what kind of feeling or impression you want the font to convey to your audience. 3. Choose whether the font will be used for Body or Display. Remember that there are many other factors to consider, including line spacing and line length, that will weigh heavily in your final choice of font for any design project.

Choosing the right font is one of the most essential parts of design. Things to consider include: making content accessible and readable while maintaining the overall aesthetic balance of the site or project. A designer must make sure that text is not hard to read on any and all of platforms and browsers. Some of the key font elements to be aware of are: correct leading, spacing, amount of white space, color contrast and font sizes.

Selecting the right font type for your company's site and logo is not just about familiarity, its also about choosing a font that communicates the right message to your intended audience. If you want visitors to your site to be able to get the information they want as soon as possible, you need to think about selecting the fonts that are easiest to read.

Vintage looking design is more popular than ever, and to truly take your viewer back in time, you need to select some really cool old-fashioned fonts to complete your project. Many designers are doing this by using lots of different textures and patterns from certain time periods. However, the most crucial element to create a vintage looking design, is the selection of an accurate and time-appropriate typography from the era you are attempting to represent. In this post, we’ve collected a number of great vintage and retro fonts that you can use, and all of them are free. You’ll find fonts here that cover time periods from the 1920′s antique look to the retro font style of the 1950′s.

The selection of a font plays an essential role in the success of a design project. The average person may think that a font is just sinply a font, or they select a font just because they immediately like the look of it. Great designers get feelings from fonts, especially if they have a strong design instinct. Different fonts convey entirely different meanings and contexts, so it is smart decision making to spend some careful time on selecting the right font for your design project.
