🔥 In this episode:
• What typography actually is and how it differs from fonts
• The history of type from Roman engravings to today’s digital families
• Serif, sans serif, decorative, handwritten—why it’s more than just two categories

• The difference between licensed and open-source fonts, and when to use each
• The rise of “blanding” and why luxury brands are going minimalist with type
• Legibility, readability, and the science behind font selection for design and memes alike
• Tips for balancing contrast, weight, kerning, and spacing in your typography
• Case studies: when font choices go right, and when they go hilariously wrong
💡 Whether you’re a designer picking brand assets, a marketer crafting campaigns, or just someone who can’t stand Times New Roman, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how type shapes every message.
