H&FJ Article: Mixing Fonts - a Great Read!

Hi everyone,

I just read what the guys over at typography.com had to say about mixing fonts in design. I found it really interesting and they provided some great examples.

The only problem now is that I want to buy all their fonts

Anyway, here's the link: CLICKY

Any comments/opinions/tips of your own?

Wow, the fonts for #1 and #2 look absolutely stunning. I already have 2/3 fonts for #1 but Tungsten looks pretty bad ass. Might pick up that one and Hearty

Gaz,
Thanks for linking to that great article. The folks at typography.com really know what they're talking about and I've been following their expert advice for quite some time. I usually find that the biggest problems people have with typography in their designs is they overcomplicate the type or add a playful type when a professional one is needed.
