DESIGNCAST | How to Choose the Right Fonts | DGDC

From The Deeply Graphic Designcast - DGDC Graphic Designers Nick Longo and Mikelle Morrison

Font choice plays a crucial role in the success of a new design. That’s why selecting an appropriate typeface for text usage is an important step in every design project. Choosing the “right” font for your design determines how well your designs are perceived.

Don’t fret, the DGDC team is here to save you from a font nightmare! We’re bringing in special correspondent Matt Dawson to help you be the perfect font matchmaker for your next project.
