Most actual fonts of 2021
This year is soon coming to an end, and by all means it has brought us many ways to develop Modern Design further. We closely looked into the typography of this year…and picked the best patterns!
Here comes the list of 2021 Typography Trends: pick suitable fonts.
Geometric Sans Fonts
Influenced by Bauhaus designers in the early 20th century, geometric sans serifs are readable, reliable fonts that provide a balanced impact to your design. In this unstable year, many businesses and companies use them in hope of giving their clients (and potential clients) the feeling of safety and reassurance.
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 readable statements.
Eloquia fonts
Versatile and functional: Eloquia is a neo-grotesque sans serif type family with geometric roots. Smooth and elegant edges, same time it gives sharp, powerful feelings and is perfect for various activities, invitations, travel theme or app development, product design, school-oriented products and many more.

Consists many powerful OpenType features, including Superscripts, Oldstyle Figures, Case Sensitive Forms and many more.

Soyuz Grotesk
The group of enthusiasts from The Temporary State came together and created Soyuz Grotesk – a digitized version of first cyrillic version of Helvetica, designed by Yuri Kurbatov and Maxim Zhukov, two students back in 1963.

Initially a bootleg of a font, a collection of letter ‘cards’ on transparent plastic for manual photocomposition, it gained a fame in the shortest time once, and now has it’s a well-deserved place in any designer’s font collection with an added set of signs, symbols and other characters. Which is true: it’s used by any societies and brands, matching anything. You can save it anywhere for free!
