A brief guide on using the right style of numerical for your use case. Typography plays a vital role when laying the visual foundation of any brand. The brand fonts are carefully chosen to be not only legible but also to represent the brand’s personality and be relevant to the industry that the brand exists within.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique.

With that in mind, how many of us have consulted a person with a disability – someone who uses this technology daily?
