Contrast with Type
Graphic © J. Bear
Type contrast can utilize size, value, and color to create contrasting typographic treatments. Add bold or italics to create contrast. Mix large type with small type. Combine serif with sans serif type to create type contrast. Set portions of text in contrasting colors or varying values. Changes in type alignment create contrast as does type spacing such as extreme kerning for headlines.
