And read the whole article as your final activity. Add this link to your blog/website and summarise the article in a few sentences..

Instead of summarising the article, I have created some key points that I've taken from it using bullet-points;

- Don't overuse script fonts, particularly in large doses as it is often hard to read and unappealing.
- Don't place type over a busy background as it is often too distracting and hard to read.
- Don't use too many fonts in one place, i.e. a website or publication as it's often very confusing and distracting.
- Don't fake small caps as it is ugly and unattractive. Instead, find a font that actually uses small caps.
- Don't use fake Italics, i.e. slanted type. Instead, choose a font that actually has an Italic case.
- Don't use all caps; it is ugly and hard to read, and also associated with shouting. Lower caps is much easier on the eye.
- Don't reverse/invert type. Type should always be black and set against a lighter backdrop. It causes less strain on eyes.
- Don't combine serifs, i.e. serif and sans serif as it creates unbalance and doesn't flow as well.
- Don't use too long or too short measures (how long each line of text is). It prevents the reader from having to fight to      construct the sentences themselves.
