Typography is like fashion: trends come and go, and each season has its new favorites, with different shapes and novel concepts. As we noted last month, the one persistent trend this year is chromatic fonts: fonts that can be layered in different colors, combining basic lettershapes with outlines, fills, patterns, shadows and three-dimensional effects, much like in the old days of chromatic wood type. The saga continues: two of this month’s most popular fonts are made for layering. It’s attractive stuff — once you start spicing up your layouts with some of it, it might even become addictive. For the less exuberantly minded, this newsletter offers typefaces that show more restraint: check out our opening sample, as well as the ever-interesting Text Fonts of the Month selection. Enjoy!
