Designers, you know how important fonts are to your work, but sometimes picking the best font is tough; there’s so much choice. Here are top 10 best new fonts for your 2021 design toolbox to help inspire your next project and introduce you to some of the best new modern fonts to suit the latest graphic design trends!
What Are the Most Popular Fonts?
Knowing what the most popular design fonts are can be tricky. According to font psychology, text, and the way it’s arranged, can have a huge impact on a design as a whole, setting both mood and tone, and the most popular fonts tend to do that really well – it’s why they’re popular! For example, wedding designs like stationery and albums often feature a script font because we tend to associate that style with romance.
As people respond to things in particular ways, it’s part of the job of a designer to interpret the message and meaning of a proposed design and choose and place fonts accordingly. The longer that fonts and font families are around and we become accustomed to them, the more we can start to associate them with particular designs, and even come to trust them on sight.
What Is a Font Family?
The terms ‘font’ and ‘typeface’ are often used interchangeably outside of the world of professional typography and design, though they aren’t really the same thing. A font is part of a typeface, which is usually a collection of fonts in different weights, sizes, or styles: a font family!
A font family you’re most likely very familiar with is Times New Roman, which includes italic, bold and bold italic versions as part of the ‘family’.
Choosing a Font
Choosing a font is a delicate balance between interpretation, style, and readability. The most important of these is of course the latter, a font above all needs to be fit for purpose and easily read by your audience.
The style of font will depend on the project it’s being used for. Long-form copy like that in a magazine article, will need to be different to the font featured in an attention-grabbing poster design, and so on. Font families that come with serif and sans serif options are usually good choices for projects where written text may vary in length: serif is usually easier and faster to read for longer copy at smaller sizes than sans serif.
How to choose a font — for a logo for example — will be heavily determined by the brand’s personality whereas selecting a font for a website will focus on aspects like size, weight and contrast, to make sure it’s easy to read.
