36 fonts that will be popular with designers in 2022 We're now seeing sharp and exaggerated characters everywhere, alongside an ongoing return to the comfort and familiarity of retro fonts, such as 1970s serifs. Besides that, there have been lots of fun new font releases to help take our minds off recent world events. But now, as we emerge from lockdown, what's the next step for typography in 2021? Right now, maximalism and creativity are being pushed to their limits. And we're expecting retro styles to continue to play their part, alongside a growing art nouveau trend and a resurgence of 1990s fonts. But as we try to forget the misery of the last two years, we expect a lot of future-facing, groundbreaking type designs to be coming our way too. Font trends for 2022 Environmental concerns will be frontline, certainly. There's also growing awareness for accessibility, which means that hopefully, typography will focus more on more making legibility and readability a priority.

NOEEKO — Design Studio 50 Inspiring Typographic Artists … and me | Moonsail design | Branding, graphic design, typography and web design I put the call out on Facebook and Twitter recently to see which typographers and calligraphers were inspiring people at the moment. The results were interesting, because very few of them were “typographers” in the true sense of the word, in that, they don’t “arrange typefaces for print”. What they do, is actually use typographic forms in an artistic, or “illustrative” way. In fact, I was interested to see there are very few recognisable typefaces amongst the works of these artists at all, most of them preferring to hand draw their own letterforms from scratch. I want to thank everybody for their suggestions. I’m flattered to say I was among the suggestions, as well as a few people I love and admire, and quite a few I had never heard of, so sit back and enjoy. I’m sure lots of talented people have been missed out, so feel free to add your inspirations in the comments section down below—I’m sure there will be a part 2 to this list pretty soon. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Collletttivo Five simple steps to better typography – April 13th, 2005 – Typography, I find, is still a bit of mystery to a lot of designers. The kind of typography I’m talking about is not your typical “What font should I use” typography but rather your “knowing your hanging punctuation from your em-dash” typography. Call me a little bit purist but this bothers me. So, in an attempt to spread the word here’s the first of five simple steps to better typography. To kick it off, part one is about the Measure. Measure the Measure. The Measure is the name given to the width of a body of type. One point = 1/72 of an inchOne pica = 12 pointsOne em = The distance horizontally equal to the type size, in points, you are using. But, with the advent of DTP packages and the website design the following are also now used: MillimetresPixels There is an optimum width for a Measure and that is defined by the amount of characters are in the line. CSS and fluid? What is interesting here is fluid designs on the web. The Measure and leading. Reversing out? Tracking

Designed first and foremost to be a body font suited for paragraph text. The very light and very bold weights can make for a nice title or headline, though. The earliest versions of Klima were my first serious attempts at making a typeface. Fun fact: FF DIN designer Albert-Jan Pool once made fun of Klima on an internet forum for type designers!
