I used to pay attention to colors and graphics but typography can completely change the mood of a design.
The right font choice can make even a simple layout look polished.

tbh it's all about hierarchy and scale... you can make a blank page look high-end just by getting the font weights and spacing right.

Quite a lot. Good colors and graphics won’t save a design if the spacing, hierarchy or line length makes it tiring to read.

A lot, if the typography is not harmonious in the design, it can completely ruin it

same here. i've found that good typography can make a basic design feel intentional instead of pain.

Agreed, actually. It's one of those things that can change the entire feel of the design, even when everything else stays the same. It's a lot of these tiny details and specifics of design that can make something feel polished or subpar pretty quickly.
I'd say it's just as much part of the overall visual language as colour and imagery.

I agree with you. When I first started designing, my designs seemed off. Then, over time, I have learned a lot about typography, how it affects the whole design and the vibe. Which font and size get attention first. From basic to advanced rules, typography is a key part of design.
