Typography Manual
If you design with words - type matters! This manual will help you:
- Improve your carousels on social media to deliver bold messages
- Save you hours of searching for the best fonts with Chris Do's top 30 fonts' list
- Understand how to use bold font weights within your copy
Knowing the rules, will help you understand how to break them, and knowing how to break them will make you a better designer. At least, that’s what we think.
Have you ever noticed so much uneven spacing between words that it looks like there's a river of white space flowing through the paragraph? That's called "justified type" and nothing pains a reader more than to see disproportion and excessive variation within typography. If the goal behind the first sentence is to make the reader want to read the next sentence, then our job is to make this process as easy as possible with little distractions.
Even if you’re a designer with thousands of fonts, this manual proposes a philosophy that pushes your designs forward in making you a stronger designer. Don’t get us wrong, we love experimenting with new concepts, but instilling the fundamentals of good design practices will always stand the test of time. Now go learn the rules so you can learn how to break them properly.
