Good typography is almost invisible.
You read a text from the beginning to the end. There are no abrupt interruptions, no distractions to stop the flow. It just works. When a text fails to meet this standard, we are looking at poor typography. When the line length is so long, we have to move our heads. When the line spacing is too narrow, we read the same line twice. When the typeface is sub-optimal, we have a hard time differentiating the individual letterforms. These small details often lie in the hands of a typographer or a graphic designer. However, this work is often neglected and misinformed. That’s why you sometimes find reading challenging. By paying attention to the principles of good typography, you can transform how people read and experience your content. Consider diving deeper into this subject. Each insight will help you create more engaging, accessible, and effective designs.

Font and text are the bane of my existence. I can create comics, video games and art in multiple ways, but when you talk about text and logos...ugh I mentally break down. I am never confident when it comes to text. Hoping to pick up some good tips here to improve my relationship with letters. LOL.

@Wesley Penner It's personal insecurity. I don't have the same eye for text that I do for other visuals. If I make a logo, I find myself thinking, "Is this too texty? Does it need more visual elements? Does it look too much like a basic font? Did I make it too stylized? Plus, I see examples of poor font choice all over in the real world, and I know I don't do that, but I'm just really not comfortable with logo and text design.
