As someone just starting out with graphic design, this is the best introductory tutorial I've come across so far. I'd never really given much thought about the importance of typeface and the structure of fonts when it comes to choosing the correct one for a particular purpose. One thing I've learned is if you don't notice the font style, then whoever selected it has done a good job. I don't mean it shouldn't be eye-catching, or draw attention to itself, it should just fit. If it doesn't, then there needs to be a good reason why that's the case. I've never really understood why I find certain typefaces pleasing and attractive, or noticed the subtle differences between them. Now I feel a bit more confident I can make better selection choices because I at least know there are a few certain conditions and characteristics I need to consider at a practical level.
Thank you so much for this, it's helped me a lot.
