2. Thou shall not mix the wrong typefaces

When using more than one fonts, you should always pay attention what fonts you mix. OK, both of the fonts look good , and that’s great and important but it is also significant how the two work together. It is preferable choosing fonts that are similar( first example)  rather than using very different typefaces like I did in the second one

total bullshit of a semi-literate (or semi-illiterate: it works both ways) article. Is the internet f*king dying??

Absolute drivel.

Instead, I direct you to this article by Mark Boulton -

http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/comments/five_simple_steps_to_better_typography/

And for that matter it’s definitely worth downloading his book 5 Simple Steps or buying the new print editions. A fantastic book that approaches web design from a more traditional print perspective. Great for those like me who’ve jumped in at the deep end with no previous graphic design experience.
