Your choice of font greatly affects the voice of your designs. Heritage, ambition, freshness, energy, utility and more can all be communicated with the right typeface.
And that’s why every month we put together this roundup of the 15 best new fonts we’ve found on the web in the previous four weeks. Enjoy!
Bulk
Bulk is a fantastic typeface that challenges how letters are constructed. Bulk uses heavy, blocky outlines and delicate linear ‘cuts’ to form the letters. It is an excellent choice for posters, giant typography and branding.
AW Conqueror Stincilla
We’ve featured the AW Conqueror before, and the AW Conqueror Stincilla is a lovely stencil variation of the shape. It produces some beautiful shapes and is ideal for luxury branding, editorial work and even as an exhibition face.
Vesterbro Sans
Rarely do we see a sans-serif that we can honestly call refreshing, but Vesterbro Sans falls into that category. It is skillfully executed with simple details that add to the overall sense of effortlessness. It is also available as a variable font.
Meow
Meow is a stunningly over-the-top, barely legible. The ribbon-like letters are full of energy. It works best when used in small doses.
Rich
Rikna is a workhorse of a slab serif that works well for body font sizes and has enough detail to be interesting at display sizes. It’s a solid all-around choice for a project that’s serious but requires a touch of human warmth.
Austerlitz
Austerlitz is a family of pseudo-didon typefaces. It is a flexible and highly usable family that works well for serious publications, digital and print. The refined rhythm means that Austerlitz will work well in some branding projects.
Grammar
Gramma is a modern looking sans serif. Gramma has a distinctive terminal style that creates visual interest at larger sizes and helps the letterforms maintain a clean outline on screen at smaller sizes. That would be a great font.
Miracle Fairway
Miracle Fairway is a bold display typeface with tapered serifs that gives the overall design a sense of movement. It is a great option for logo design.
Showcase
Vitrine is a high-contrast sans-serif that looks great at large sizes. It comes in nine weights, but the semi-bold, bold and black have the highest contrast and, as a result, the most character. It works well as a screen face and for logos.
Kelyon
Kelyon is a graceful display face with medieval and art nouveau influences. It has several deputies. It works best at screen sizes and is a good choice for editorial design.
Suitable for Devanagari
Fit Devanagari is a highly stylized font, designed as a companion to the Latin Fit font, which can be used in any size. If you need to fill a certain size of space, then Fit allows you to do it elegantly.
Exactly Sans
Precise Sans is a tech-feeling sans-serif with a range of weights and (eventually) two italics. It’s an excellent choice for UI design where clarity trumps character, but you still want some personality. It’s still in beta, so expect changes.
Mistaken
Mistont is a beautiful serif typeface with elegant curves and graceful ligatures. It is an ideal choice for branding lifestyle products.
Exergue
Exergue is a stunning serif typeface that uses flared terminals to match its serifs. The result is blocks of text that feel unexpected and familiar at the same time. Exergue is an excellent choice for extended passages of text, where it adds character while maintaining readability.
Manners
Manier is a very usable typeface with angular wedges and generous, modern proportions. It comes in six weights with matching italics. It is ideal if you want to give your design some confidence.
