Anguita Sansĭesigned by Sofia Mohr for Latinotype, Anguita Sans is a brand new condensed sans serif family which debuted this October. We predict that all these typefaces will be huge in 2021, and for all the right reasons. Some are old, some are new, and some appeared on last year's list too, but they all have one thing in common. So with the help of some suggestions from the creative community on Twitter, we've brought together 24 stunning fonts that can help you do just that over the next 12 months. If you're also feeling the pull of a changing approach to design, it's worth investigating some new fonts outside your usual toolbox. It feels like something a little more… well, genuine.
This isn't the kind of arch, knowing, post-modern irony we used to see everywhere in advertising. Just take a look at Koto's impactful identity for Meatable, a company attempting to return to "harm-free meat" on a sustainable scale, using GT Alpina. Being quarantined has led many of us to question some of the values we take for granted in modernity, and there really does seem to be a shift back to simpler, more innocent times. We'd venture that it's not just rose-tinted glasses, either.
So we've seen the resurgence of classic fonts, most notably Futura Now and Helvetica Now, while the graphic design of everything from websites and album covers, book jackets to poster designs, have been harking back to the good old days with classic typestyles and iconic fonts.
