EARN HOW TO CHOOSE GREAT TYPOGRAPHY FOR YOUR PROJECT! | In this
video, I’ll break down some useful tips and tricks that will help guide you as
you look for fonts whether it’s for graphic design, a website, video titles, or
other!

contrast of the text matter? What generally goes together well? What are some bad
things that you should avoid? We’ll cover all that and more!
