WORD - Typography

Today’s WORD comes from Benjamin Weisbrodt.  I wanted to share some info about Typography.  Many students struggle when it comes to deciding which type of font to use in their designs.  I often struggle with it myself.  There are tons of resources online that can help you decide which font to use in your designs.  Ben shares the following list or resources with us:
