Hey Jesse recently discovered your channel. Thank you for making your videos short, easy to follow and full of energy! Transitioning from print to digital and you’d be shocked how many boring videos there are out there

What tips on typography did I miss that you use all the time?

[peterwyattmiddleton]

Other tips on typography I have heard are try and match type with similar X heights. I am also a very big fan of high contrast, typography, (serif vs non serif)

also don't use too many fonts for performance reasons in the end ... 😅
what's the right number for the golden ratio? *1.65?

On tip number 5. You say multiply the font size by the golden ratio to get your line spacing. What is the golden ratio equal to?

Could you elaborate, or you may already have a video on the golden ration

Also, never letterspace/track out lowercase type.
