    Typography is basically everything text.
    Everything from the font you uses to what symbols you are using.

    To master it you need to know the basics of Serif and San-Serif typefaces.


    One of the most important tool to create a appealing photo is to choose a nice font. Most people neglect this and just choose a standard font like arial or Comic Sans MS.
    There is two kinds of font groups, Serif and Sans-Serif. The header should be a Sans-Serif font and the body text a Serif font for larger texts. If you are to write only shorter posts like this on Sans-Serif is allowed. Larger texts like books or long reviews can be hard to read in a Sans-Serif font.To make it even more complicated Sans-Serif fonts are considered easier to read on a screen.
    Remember that a great font can make your picture stand out and enhance the end resolute.

    Palatino Linotype - a Serif font
    Arial - a Sans-Serif font

    Well I use bolder font's when I want the typography to be the main thing in the picture and in action phased sceneries.

    I use thin subtle font's in more quiet pictures.

    No the "puke" is to messy. The creator should have used a single typeface instead of different ones.
