OUDF503: Bebas Neue



Typography is a very important part of design and choosing the right type for your design can be very challenging. Bebas Neue is the primary font in which I've decided to use over Helvetica and Ariel. It has a good combination of typeface with OSP DIN, FRANCHISE & LEAGUE GOTHIC as they all fall under the same font family which is Sans-Serif font. These are a great collection of fonts and can be used for commercial use. The reason why I chose this font is because it looks professional, clean and it will work well through motion graphics. I want to experiment with it using various techniques in after effects as this font was made for web and print typography. I'm always cautious about the fonts I choose when designing, having a good Idea of choosing the right font combinations is always useful. Good use of typography and a combination of fonts can really help to add that extra wow factor to a project. 

It is important not to break the 2 font rule but once in a while it can be broken if the designer can make it work. Combining Bebas Neue with a font called Pacifico is something I'd be willing to try.

Below is an example of Pacifico Regular:
