My brother told me to ditch all my fonts and just use one family for a week

He's a designer in Chicago and said my posters looked messy because I had too many typefaces. I only used the free version of Inter for a client project last week, and it forced me to focus on layout and color. The client actually said it looked 'cleaner' than my past work. Has anyone else tried a strict font limit to push their design thinking?

Heard a podcast that said constraints can actually boost creativity.

That podcast take feels backwards. Real creativity needs room to breathe, not more walls.

What kind of constraints did they talk about, like time limits or specific rules?
