In order to keep things simple, no more than three type sizes should be used in one communication piece. These sizes follow a simple formula: each type size should aim to be a minimum of 50% larger than the preceding type size.
In some instances, it might be necessary to break this rule and have two type sizes that are closer together. In this case, a minimum 35% size difference should be followed.
Typography can also be applied on top of imagery. In these instances, use black typography on lighter images, and white typography on darker images to ensure that there is enough contrast. Never use color typography on imagery.
