Nice font choices. I like the subtle differences in some of these compared to more 'traditional' serif or sans fonts. Thanks for a great video!

I'm so glad to have found this video! I'm a new web developer (long-time designer) and I actually detest searching for the right font. There are just too many and I never know which is the right one. These are certainly great starting points!

Yesterday I spent 4h on Google fonts alone! Exploring, digging, browsing, experimenting. Found some really fun and interesting fonts. Typography is certainly growing on me, and started exploring typography-led web design. Some of these examples really help solidify my interest and fresh approach. Great content as always. 🤘🏻

Is Hedvig for headings only? Cus it seems to have no weights to work with, nor italics. That feels like it would halt you a lot

I respectfully disagree with the premise of this video. Yes, you may be able to get away with 6 fonts or so, but that's a bare minimum. Educating yourself in the field of typography and gain a knowledge of what's possible with type and your design opportunities will grow and your portfolio strength will improve.

Thanks for being respectful in your comment! The video's premise is a fun play on Vignelli's controversial declaration that all he needed was a few basic typefaces. Did you watch the video? "Educating yourself in the field of typography" is what Matt advocates, not only here but in most of his videos! So I'm not sure there is a disagreement. Endlessly trying new fonts rather than learning to work with some solid ones can work against this. Education and lifelong learning are what we're all about! ✌️
