20 Typefaces Are Perfect Take this quote from a teacher in the Typophile discussion: “I think 20 type faces is perfect. This is what I tell my class to begin with. The idea that you need hundreds of typefaces is ridiculous. When I was in school I had thousands upon thousands of bad typefaces. I hoarded anything I could get. This only helped confuse me when it came to choosing an appropriate face. It was a breath of fresh air to just delete them all off my hard drive. I only use about 10 or so at any moment in my career. Type can be tricky and hard to deal with. It is best to have fewer faces and understand the ins and outs of each one. This is the only way one can expect to master a typeface and type in general.” - Jay Wilkinson I can agree with Jay on this as I was also guilty of having every font under the sun, however, after the first year of University I quickly learned otherwise - it is best to master a few faces. One could also argue whether 20 is a suitable number or not, however, I believe it is a good starting point… To contradict this point I have also written an article called 30 fonts all designers must know & own. 20 Typefaces To Start A Designer’s Career.
