Tell me about how YOU use fonts—I’d love to learn

Hi everyone 👋

I’m curious—how do you use fonts?

• Free vs. paid
• Neutral fonts vs. expressive fonts
• Large font collection vs. shortlist of favorites
• Organization with font manager vs. ad-hoc per project
• How do you pick fonts?
• How do you pair fonts?
• How do you learn about typography?

Anyway, these are just some of the questions that come to mind. I’ve heard the saying that design is 95% typography, so I’m curious and would love to learn more about how YOU use fonts—even if the answer is you don’t change the defaults.

I genuinely want to know and chat—I will reply and upvote all comments when I wake up tomorrow. Thank you all! 😄
