- Type is one of the Elements of Design and should be considered a foundational aspect of the brand and aesthetic presentation of your content.
- Type design plays a critical role in information architecture and visual hierarchy.

Using Google Fonts hosting service
Google Fonts is a CDN that hosts a varied and growing collection of font options. These font files are stored on their server and provided for our use in digital product design.
Simply by linking to their fonts online, we can then utilize these assets in our digital products. The code integration is simple and can be seamlessly incorporated into our stylesheets.
