How different font styles can be used to make up your brand: Logo Typeface: Is usually a bit more special and packed with your brands personality. This font should be used sparingly and kept for special occasions.
Headings font: This font will reflect the same brand values as your logo font - eg in this example both fonts are feminine and elegant. Unlike your logo typeface, this font should be easier to read and look good a number of different sizes and thicknesses.
Body font: The main rule here is that this font MUST be easy to read, both digitally and for print. If there is already a lot going on in your logo and heading font, keep this style simple.
