Four techniques for combining fonts + type videos

Via @daleBradshaw is Four Ways to Mix Fonts from Ask H&FJ, which at base says "keep one thing consistent, and let one thing vary" before explaining their 4 approaches:

1. Use a palette with wit -- use typefaces with complimentary moods to evoke an energetic air
2. Use a palette with energy -- mix typefaces from the same historical period whose families have different features
3. Use a palette with poise -- mix typefaces with similar line quality if they offer different textures
4. Use a palette with dignity -- mix typefaces with similar proportions and give each a different role

Also, check out Choosing Fonts for Annual Reports again from Ask H&FJ.
