2021 is set to be an interesting year for font trends. We\u2019re going to see an explosion of movement and character, juxtaposed with a growing need for certainty and solidity.<\/p>\n
At one end of the spectrum, expect to see a lot of bold sans serifs, progressing through to more expressive sans serifs, as designers look to get away from purely functional font styles (though these won’t disappear altogether.)<\/p>\n
We\u2019re also going to see a development in the trend of character serif fonts, which we touched on in last year\u2019s top fonts rundown<\/a>.<\/p>\n So without further ado, let\u2019s take a look at the best fonts to use for your logo<\/a> or brand in 2021!<\/p>\n Geometric sans serifs are readable, reliable fonts that provide a balance of impact and readability. You\u2019re going to see a lot of them this year, with businesses increasingly hoping to instill a feeling of safety, reassurance, and solidity.<\/p>\n From a design perspective, expect more emphasis on readability and clarity in these font styles, with solid weightings remaining popular as brands look to make clear, impactful statements.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Holgada is a solid and clean geometric sans designed by Pablo Balcells\u2019s foundry Graviton<\/a>. With rounded terminals to give a softer edge, Holgada packs a punch but still feels friendly enough. A good logo font with multiple weightings, lots of versatility, and not too much craziness. Something we could all do without in 2021!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the name suggests, Adapta is an adaptable typeface with 34 fonts, ranging from logo-ready display sizes to thinner text. Designed by Krishna Kireeti for Typekiln<\/a>, Adapta supports 88 languages and comes with a whole range of alternates. It\u2019s a beautifully warm and easygoing font that could be used for logos, print, and online text.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Albula Pro<\/a> is a stunning geometric sans serif with sharp, confident lines and impeccable symmetry. It reads easily, makes a statement, and holds its weight. Derived from the stark geometric architecture of the Albula region of Switzerland, this bold sans serif is a great example of how you can use places and culture to inform your own design style.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Facundo<\/a> is a brand new Geometric sans from the legendary Latinotype foundry. While the font was informed by simple geometric shapes, its subtle alterations set it apart from other utilitarian sans serifs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another absolute SLAPPER from the team at Latinotype. According to its designers, Magazine Grotesque<\/a> is for headlines and titles (meaning it\u2019d be a great logo font.) Simple yet special, the font\u2019s unique features – such as over-extended outstrokes on the \u2018a\u2019 and \u2018e\u2019 letterings – make this one of our hot picks for one of 2021\u2019s most popular fonts.<\/p>\n Like their geometric counterparts, expressive sans serif fonts rely on bold, structured shapes for clear communication, but with that little bit extra. These sans serif fonts<\/a> will offer brands a way to express the pent-up energies of last year while keeping things grounded in something solid and reliable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lufga is a total babe of a font, and will likely be trending for most of 2021. Released last November by Adam Ladd<\/a>, this is a fun and punchy typeface that\u2019s going to feel most at home in outdoor and print executions, but could also work across your wider brand identity<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n
