Who knew your text great typographic design decision can be determined in a chart? Check out this design chart designed to determine what type treatment to give your design.

I've come to realize that choosing a typeface is one of the hardest parts of finishing a design. When I worked on my baby beauty cover, it literally took me hours to choose the perfect typefaces. This chart is useful because even if it doesn't give you the exact typeface you want, it will give you an idea and puts you on the right track. I bet it saves a lot of time!
