SO WHICH ONE DO I USE?
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL BUT HERE ARE SOME
SUGGESTIONS
> Don't use more than 3 fonts on a single
page
> Don't switch fonts mid-sentence unless you have a very
good reason
> Use sans-serif fonts for online body text and serif
fonts for headlines and print
> Use monospace fonts for typewriter text and code blocks
def like_this puts 'I am code' end
> Use script and fantasy fonts for accents
FINDING THE PERFECT FONT
FONT FAMILIES
FONT ICONS
