It is that time again where we count down from 1 to 10, our top selling fonts of the past year. While we see a shift in what was hot in 2009 versus the year before, we also see favorites from 2008 still holding on strong. With no more wait, let us begin! Hannah - This past year we saw an emergence of a new trend in what everyone wanted from our fonts. Moving away from more heavy fonts, it seemed everyone wanted a more hand-crafted, handwritten and playful style of type to work with. So it was no surprise to us when we noticed the top seller for 2009 was Hannah. Almost doing 2x the sales of the number two position, Hannah has quickly become a staple in the exclusive YWFT font collection. Agostina - Following Hannah, was our second big hit Agostina.
Black Slabbath - This heavy hitter (literally) needs no introduction at this point. Myld - Another winner from 2008, Myld made its way back into the top of our charts again in 2009.
