This infographic caught my eye, one, because of the colors and, two, because of the typography. There is a clear contrast between the header font and the body font. The header is a decorative typeface, and the body is slab serif or sans serif. The distinction is not just for the aesthetic look of the piece; it is intrinsically tied in with the organization and clarity of the information on the page. Your goal is to communicate. Combining different typefaces should not confuse communication but strengthen it.
It is said that having two typefaces in a document is the most practical way of having an impactful yet accessible document. This infographic, however, has five different fonts. I think the infographic is still easy to look at, but this could be confusing to other readers. What helps, in this case, is the contrast between the typefaces. The headers are clearly decorative, and the body text remains simple.
How do you feel about this infographic design? Can you use five, possibly more, fonts and still have a cohesive, communication-enhancing document? If so, how?
