Favorite Underused Fonts
FontShop supports typographic diversity. There will always be a place for classic type in contemporary design, and it’s safe and easy to rely on the same old standards, but using type that is underused is often the best way to stand out in an increasingly crowded and homogeneous design landscape.
With that in mind, we hope to lift the curtain on a few of the many interesting, usable, well-made typefaces beyond those standbys we all know and love. In addition to our staff recommended alternatives to common fonts, we’re asking our Twitter followers for the typefaces they wish they would see more often. Here are the results.
