The typeface I used for this project was SimSun-ExtB. When choosing typefaces, I knew I wanted to use a serif style font, and the slim, tall design of this font caught my attention. I find it simple to read but also elegant.

My favorite font right now is Degular. I think it is super simple yet can be used in many different contexts. It has different weight and style variations that also look amazing.
Here I used it in its medium weight variation, one I use the most when I’m creating personal projects.

I found my self drowning in bold and Sans-serif typeface while working on visual projects like posters. And, Impact is my favorite font!

Britannic Bold Font is somewhat of a formal but strong text to get someone’s attention.
