Question:

Display or decorative typefaces usually have some very specific styling that convey a particular mood or tone. They may recall some period design attributes, or some special cultural aspects of a time or place. Because such stylings may require the typeface design to move away from the standards that readers expect for lengthy texts, display faces are best used in short texts such as headlines, sub headings, signage, on labels or in logo design. When using display faces, it's important to select a text typeface that works well with the display face.
