Starting Out Typography Journey

[Amit Kumar]

Hi, As a web designer I have basic working knowledge of typography. But I want to enhance my typography skills. I want to able to create dynamic layouts. 

How to learn about better font pairing based on the need of the projects? As every project is different.

How to master a single typeface? How to leverage typographic skills to create a unique grid-based layout?

One of the major problems I face is How do I combine "script" fonts with other serif/slab/sans serif etc. fonts. 

I hope I'll get a proper answer instead links from all over the web. I want to know how to master typography.

 

Thank you!

Well, it’s a profession, so studying and practising it for years is the only “proper” way to get the skills and knowledge to answer all the questions you asked.
