Fonts: Choosing the right one


 Architects pays a lot of attention to the fonts we use. Architects have proven to be especially picky in chosen typography. To put it together they are perfectionist. Even a tiny details irritates them too much. I mean if you are a fellow architect you know where I am coming from.......Right! 


Mies van der Rohe once stated “God is in the details” and apparently we take it seriously 😃
  • Graphic elements are constantly used in a extensive way to make a scheme of their works. Among them, what should be prioritized are the drawings, techniques, styles & patterns. But the most particular icon that helps them to determine a clear out look is the composition and the idea generally the FONT.
  • Font types are designs assumed by a pattern. There are variations which can be highlighted as light, italic, bold  also by the type of box high-uppercase and lower-lowercase. 
  • The correct choice of font can communicate to simple rhythm. It leads to a mental calmness through the glace within the presentation. There is no correct scheme in this technique however you can choose it accordingly to which soothes the eye.
