Typography for the Animator The majority of design and animation projects pose difficult problems because of the variety of emphasis required.To solve this you have to find two or more different typefaces, each matching not only its corresponding text but also all other fonts in the composition. Creating solid contrast links between different fonts is a real challenge. Each font being nearly as complex as a character in an animation; it is next to impossible to find two fonts whose features can be used for the variety of different stresses in a movie.The safest option in any project is using the same font, or its different variants (e.g. bold or italic), for all of your needs. This single font solution may not be perfect, but in many cases it may be better to ensure consistency instead of taking risky aesthetic decisions. Using one font is by far preferable in small compositions such as logos, or information graphics on an interface.
