I really enjoyed this course as it is only an hour and a very easy way to begin digesting the complex relationships in typography! Ina delivers the information in a clear way and brings a passion to the subject that is inspiring. I would like to see a more detailed excercise added to the end to relly give entry level people a chance to dig in and practice. It would help pratice the wealth of knowledge you gain from this course. Great course!

Course details
With the hundreds of thousands of typefaces that are now available, knowing which to choose and how to combine them (or not) can seem intimidating and complicated. Art director and typography expert Ina Saltz demystifies the process in this course. She'll show you how to choose the right typeface for the job, considering factors such as readability, typographic anatomy, and historical context. She'll then demonstrate how to combine your chosen fonts effectively and harmoniously, based on contrast, similarity, or mood. Finally, knowing there's always an exception to the rule, Ina explains how breaking these guidelines might make sense for your design. Watch and start learning how to simplify your selection process, while taking advantage of the powerful visual arsenal typography can provide for your designs.
