Type Trends.
What is type saying to us in 2024?
Our annual Type Trends Report is a celebratory exercise, a chance to give flowers to some of the
unique typographic voices we see all around us. But it’s also an opportunity for introspection:
what does the work tell us about ourselves? What is these designers’
work saying and why does it feel so relevant?
Everythingallofthetime.
If type is telling us something about our lives today, then this first trend reflects every possible facet of life, everywhere, all at once.
Whatever.
Born of ’90s nostalgia, Whatever encompasses a spectrum of styles from nihilistic grunge to colorful pixel play.
Systm.
Despite having an engineered feel or approach to designing letters, Systm projects feel analog and human made.
De-form.
Is that a world-beating variable typeface, or is it just kinda Deform(ed)?
Flux.
Whether truly animated or inspired by motion, Flux looks fast and dynamic.
Quirk.
A willingness to try something unexpected, to stand out, to speak differently.
Counter Attack.
Negative space steps out onto center stage, begging to be seen and celebrated.
Profeshinal.
A careful blend of humor and honesty that gives way to curious but brilliant creation.
100% Natural.
Celebrating the joy of letter making and seeking to strategically position words with a sustainable mindset.
Return of the Serif.
There is something comforting about tradition, it allows us to stay grounded in ever more complex surroundings.
