Intent

When choosing a typeface appropriate for a task, consider the design intent behind creating the typeface. What was it made for?

For example, the Beware typeface was made for art and fashion projects.^[1] With its elegant aesthetic, it's a good fit for an art website heading. For the body text, it's better to choose a font with higher legibility or a font designed specifically for computer screens.

Many popular typefaces have detailed write-ups and reviews, so look up the information before making a choice.
