### Contrast is Key
|
|
104
|
+
Pair fonts that are different enough to create hierarchy but similar enough to feel cohesive.

|
|
108
|
+
**Effect**: Elegant yet approachable, traditional yet modern
|
|
109
|
+
**Use for**: Balanced brands, professional yet friendly
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+

|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
### Weight Contrast
|
|
122
|
+
Use different weights of the same font family for subtle hierarchy.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
**Example**: Inter Black (headlines) + Inter Regular (body)
|
|
125
|
+
**Effect**: Cohesive, systematic, modern
|
|
126
|
+

+
#### Single Font Family
|
|
248
|
+

|
+
**Signal**: Balanced, professional, considered design

256
|
+
|
|
257
|
+
#### Multiple Fonts

|
|
261
|
+
|
|
262
|
+
### Font Weight Analysis

|
+

|
|
265
|
+
- **Regular (400)**: Neutral, readable, safe
|
|
266
|
+
- **Medium/Semi-Bold (500-600)**: Confident, balanced, professional
|
|
267
|
+

|
268
|
+

## Video Implementation
|
|
271
|
+
|
|
272
|
+
### Opening Sequence
|
|
273
|
+
Use brand's most distinctive typography prominently. This creates immediate brand recognition.
|
|
274
|
+
|
|
275
|
+
**Example structure**:
|
|
276
|
+
```
|
|
277
|
+
[Brand name in brand font]
|
|
278
|
+
↓
|
|
279
|
+
[Tagline in secondary font]
|
|
280
|
+
↓
|
|
281
|
+
[Content begins]
|
|
282
|
+
```
|
|
283
|
+
|
|
284
|
+
### Content Sections
|
|
285
|
+
Maintain typographic hierarchy:
|
|
286
|
+
- **Headlines**: Brand heading font, larger size
|
|
287
|
+
- **Subheads**: Secondary font or lighter weight
|
|
288
|
+
- **Body text**: Most readable font, appropriate size
|
|
289
|
+
|
|
290
|
+
### Closing/CTA
|
|
291
|
+
Return to brand typography for strong finish and brand recall.
|
|
292
|
+
|
|
293
|
+
### Throughout
|
|
294
|
+
- **Consistency**: Same font = same purpose throughout video
|
|
295
|
+
- **Hierarchy**: Size, weight, and position create clear information structure
|
|
296
|
+
- **Breathing room**: Don't crowd text, allow space around typography
|
|
297
|
+
- **Alignment**: Consistent alignment creates professional feel
|
|
298
|
+
|
|
299
|
+
