How to choose fonts: Step by step

The first mistake I notice when it comes to web design is poor font choice; but with so many options, how do you choose one that meets your needs? In this video I’m going to share my step by step process to finding the right fonts for my projects.

I recently discovered your videos Matt, and I'm really happy about it!
The way you talk, the modern and trend examples you choose to showcase and the overall boost of confidence and easy-to-follow tips you share is a delightful thing to watch. 
Thanks for your lessons and looking forward to your next videos!

I got inspired and learned so much more in this 45mins video than in one semester, wish you were my font class teacher when I was at uni lol. After watching several of your videos, I realize that there are lots of simple but fundamental ideas that I have neglected before, which trully helps me getting back to the design.
Really appreciate, for sharing these brilliant tips, methods, and making this video! Thank you!

This has got to be hands down the most useful, informative and engaging tutorial I have ever found. This has been extremely useful. Thanks Matt and thanks Flux.

Thank you for the video. Choosing fonts is the aspect of design that I've been struggling with the most so really helpful content.

Great video, thanks.
Not quite sure what has happened to the chapter links - the timings are definitely wrong!

[slowotokarka]

In my opinion FontShare is great source of high quality free fonts, what do other designers think of their typefaces?

Thanks Matt!
Met this video during one of your courses, a great start for sure.
One extra thing that feels missing is exact typeface sources / foundries. Could you please add this in comment?

Tonight you will finally dedicate the time to watch this video and choose your font. Enough is enough. Quit screwing around, kid

Great video Matt. When I buy a license, is it forever or per use?

You said something about the only 6 fonts yuo need but I don't see anything about it in the description

[joshuaogah]

Thank you so much for this video; I've just gotten a bit more confident in working with fonts. Just that I'm very disappointed with the bad user experience I had on your website while trying to download the guide. When I scroll down and click on "Download for Free", it just scrolls back up and does nothing. I wasn't able to download it. Please, you may wanna fix this. Thank you!

What font do you guys use for your website?

I don't know if anyone else has ever realized this, but when you crop down to the circle (picture in picture) the frame is flipped from what it is full size. Drives me nuts every time.
