Critique my typography?

This is an older project I am using as practice(I am going to pull it and replace it soon). I need a critique of my typography, it's not my strong suit and I am looking to improve. Something about the font applied to the labels seems "off" to me.

Whoops sorry about that, you do need a link to make an opinion :)

Try Oswald. I think that would be a nice pairing

The label font could be a bit cleaner, perhaps a different font choice?

The background for the submit button makes buttons text look bad, maybe try a different contrast? :)

Just my opinion, I'm not a professional!

OK I changed the typography and the styling(I figured a "permanent marker" or marker text style should look like it is on a whiteboard or paper opposed to a chalkboard).

I would recommend removing some margin-top from your input boxes to ensure the label is not 'floating' in the middle of two boxes. Perhaps have a look at some of these examples: http://calltoidea.com/registers.php

OK, so I fixed the margins and made the form responsive with a break point of 510px
