In working with display type, I found that there is a lot of content available on the internet (duh), and that a lot of it is terrible (also duh). I also found that in making these compositions work, I took a back seat to the look of the font. A lot of them worked well with certain layouts, mainly because their designs were always so one sided as to whether they were thick stroked blocks or light scripts. When I sat down to work on these I also surprised as to how easily a chunk of the display fonts, at least the ones I picked, were pretty legible but I set them rather large either way to accent the aesthetics of the type and the tried using that as my dominant element.
