Choosing a typeface is an opportunity for your website, app or digital product to show personality, be memorable and stand out among its competition. And if you’re just using Open Sans, or other overly popular typeface, you’re missing out on that.

Never mistake legibility for communication. Just because something is legible doesn’t mean it communicates. More importantly, it doesn’t mean it communicates the right thing.

Perfect communication is person-to-person. You see me, hear me, smell me, touch me. Television is the second form of communication; you can see me and hear me. Radio is the next; you hear me, but you don’t see me. And then comes print. You can’t see or hear me, so you must be able to interpret the kind of person I am from what is on the printed page. That’s where typographic design comes in.
