While there are plenty of options for each type of font, there are some distinct advantages to selecting a premium option.<\/p>\n<p>Premium typefaces are often sold by larger foundries or are part of collections such as Typekit. Prices can vary widely. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Premium fonts come with extended characters and glyphs. Have you ever run into a font that didn\u2019t have an ampersand or comma? That\u2019s a common problem with many free fonts, and isn\u2019t the case with premium options.<\/li>\n<li>Premium fonts won\u2019t degrade in quality when used at large sizes and have been tested to render on multiple browsers and devices.<\/li>\n<li>Premium fonts have a character consistently to ensure that the family looks like it goes together among different characters and weights.<\/li>\n<li>Premium fonts often include multi-language support and come with a license so you know when you are using it legally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Install a Font on a Mac<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/out\/e\/font-collections\/bw-glenn-slab-Q3DTTQ\/\" class=\"elements-link\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tutorialimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignNone size-full wp-image-1611\" src=\"https:\/\/designshack.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bw-Glenn-Slab-Font-Family.jpg\" alt=\"how to use fonts\" width=\"1100\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Installing a font on Mac operating systems just takes a couple clicks, using the Font Book app. <\/p>\n<p>After downloading the font (make sure to unzip it), double-click the font icon and a window will pop up in font book that shows the name and basic character set. Click install to add to your default font set, using default preferences.

Pairing typefaces is an art in itself, but it is a little easier with these tips to help you create amazing font pairs. <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Look for typefaces with similar shapes: Think about whether each typeface is more round or oval, thick or thin, or tilts.<\/li>\n<li>Mix type styles: Use a serif and a sans serif or a script and sans serif. Paring different type styles is more visually interesting than mixing similar typefaces.<\/li>\n<li>Create plenty of contrast: Typography pairs need plenty of contrast to stand out. Pair fonts in different sizes, styles, color and use so that each font serves a distinct purpose. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is our series of beautiful, inspiring collections of fonts and typefaces.
