How To ~ Improve Typography

Headlines: multi-deck, use plenty of toom, some type as art, subheads as sentences. Vary the type.
Captions: Well written, use as design element, invite reader into copy.
Body copy: Well written, break it up (quote boxes, pulled quotes, small photo, etc.), dropped initials and type technique. Invite reader into copy.
Specialty type: try using smaller, bold type and use exta leading with it.
Mixing type: Stay consistent within each section. You may vary somewhat between sections. Keep some continuity between sections.
