There is little risk in using classic typefaces in your projects. You canât go wrong with Frutiger Next, Garamond or Brandon Grotesque. These classic typefaces are like a basic black dress or a navy-blue blazer.
But what if your project calls for something typographically up-to-the-minute? What if you want something thatâs part of a raising typographic trend â a typeface that will ensure that your graphic or interactive designs are fresh, stylish and hip? Read on.
Even with what seems like hundreds of new typefaces being released on a daily basis, the hippest new designs fall into five categories:
- Geometric Sans
- Swashes & Alternative Characters
- Soft Fonts & Friendly Faces
- Inlined, Engraved and Delightful
- Square Sans

No frills geometric sans have been trending for some time â and for good reason. They speak with clarity and authority. Many also benefit from a wide and deep range of weights and proportions making them ideal for everything from wordmarks and branding to headlines and signage. Minimalism is personified in designs like Gilroy, Biennale and Codec Pro. While others, like Campton, are softened with a subtle calligraphic influence. This calligraphic undertone is even stronger in designs like Noah and Proxima Nova.
Thanks to their large x-heights, open counters and simple character shapes, these designs enable companies and products to seamlessly express their brand everywhere an audience can engage with it, including websites, advertisements, corporate messaging, packaging â and more. Choose from any of these designs and youâve added a powerful, trending, and sure to be classic typeface to your design toolbox.

Because theyâre space economical, approachable â and ready to tackle jobs both big and small! In addition, the squared character shapes take maxim advantage of pixel real estate on large and small screens.
