    2, usually. Unless it's a logo, because the font gets overused and makes the design look, cheap.

    If you use more than 3 you have to watch out.
    if the fonts look well together, you can use 3 fonts without any problems!

    but i would´t use more than max. 3.

    better are 2 nice ones.

    It really depends what im working on. Logos, I keep to 1-2 fonts. Anything else, I try to stay consistent and stick with 2-3.

    2 more than that and it just looks weird and too busy. One font for headers and one font for the body

    Depends on what your designing...
    For a logo i'd only use one font, looks messy if its different.
    If it's a website design, then two fonts would probably be my max.

    It's vary on companies category. Some time use less , some time more, depend of reveal of company's branding identity which makes appeal to user and client's mind.

    Usually focus on just 1 or 2, depends really on the context of the logo and how it looks.

    Depends on the project. Too many fonts is a big no though.

    3 at max should be used in a single piece of design (regardless if it up to a website, magazine, etc.)

    If I'm doing a logo I'll stick to one font, on page text usually two at the most.
