Tell me about how YOU use fonts—I’d love to learn
Hi everyone 👋
I’m curious—how do you use fonts?
- Free vs. paid
- Neutral fonts vs. expressive fonts
- Large font collection vs. shortlist of favorites
- Organization with font manager vs. ad-hoc per project
- How do you pick fonts?
- How do you pair fonts?
- How do you learn about typography?
Anyway, these are just some of the questions that come to mind. I’ve heard the saying that design is 95% typography, so I’m curious and would love to learn more about how YOU use fonts—even if the answer is you don’t change the defaults.
I genuinely want to know and chat—I will reply and upvote all comments when I wake up tomorrow. Thank you all! 😄
P.S.

Hi!
As a presentation design company CEO and co-founder, I have a bit different approach towards fonts. In brief, you can read it here:

Hi Alex! Ahh, that reminds me of the classic web safe and cross platform fonts
And the default font stack
Both good options when compatibility and speed matters most
Totally agree!
