Chapter 8

Type + Font

Type is the building block of any page with writing. People often use multiple fonts on the same page to give the page a classy look. Different fonts are used for the page for titles, sub-titles, and the basic writing.


  • Concordant is a relationship that occurs when you only use one type of font without a variety of size, style, color, etc.
  • The entire page looks the same and sometimes very dull.
  • Conflicting is a relationship that occurs when the types on the page are similar in size, style, color, etc. They are not the same neither are they wildly different.
  • Like using one font for the basic writing and one for the heading.
  • Contrasting is a relationship that occurs when you combine two or more typefaces together. They compliment each other and appeal to the eye. Therefore they are contrasting.
  • Size, weight, structure, form, direction, color are all ways to contrast fonts.
