I am in the middle of doing some design work that leans heavily on typography.
Needless to say, finding the right font can be overwhelming. Not only is your basic system font list long, but when you begin to search around the web for some free fonts, your choices expand even further!
During my Internet travels, I came across this handy infographic, The 10 Commandments of Typography. It goes over some basic principles that help you avoid making ‘rookie’ mistakes that are easy to make as a novice.
Take a look, you may want to save this for future reference, too:

While some of these may seem like common sense after reading them, these typography pitfalls can be easy made!
What’s your favorite place to find the right font?
