We all know the words you use are important, but what about how those words look?

The right font can make or break your design, whether it’s the text on your website or the words on your signage.

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite fonts for 2018, which are guaranteed to grab attention and make you stand out for all the right reasons. Prepare to be noticed.


Domaine Display

Different fonts and typefaces.

This swanky little number has a certain je ne se quois. It makes us feel like putting on a wide-brimmed hat and sticking on a jazz vinyl.


Trade Gothic Display

Font example.

Give your advertisements an edge with this impactful font that looks fabulous in complementary colours.


Mont

Font types.

This swoon-worthy font is ideal for headlines or logos. It’s retro and modern at the same time.


Ogg

Font types.

It’s all gone a little classy with Ogg. Named after the talented calligrapher and book designer, Oscar Ogg, this font channels the handwritten calligraphy style.


Kiona

Font types.

Ooooh, so fresh and so clean! We love this edgy, modern font.


Auro Font

Font types.

Space-age web design is bang on trend right now (just look at our website design trends 2018 blog post), and we reckon this futuristic font fits right in. The truth is out there.


Sacred Bridge Family

Font types.

Yeehaw! This font evokes the Wild West and is sure to appeal to bearded hipsters across the land.


Bambi

Font types.

As adorable as its namesake, this cutesy font is pretty and endearing.


Quattrocento Sans

Font types.

Understated yet powerful, we like a font that doesn’t try too hard to impress. Like this one.


Lobster

Font example.

If you’re looking for a font that’s sassy, quirky and unique, you may just have found your Lobster.


Lombok

Font example.

Hitting the geometric trend head-on, this sans serif typeface really knows how to work those angles.


One Day

Font example.

Slimline, visually interesting and raw, One Day is a modern font characterised by distinctive broken lines.


Aqua Grotesque

Font example.

A font that appears at first deceptively simple, Aqua is composed of straight lines and rounded forms. The perfect combo of smooth and straight.


Polya

Font example.

Inspired by 3D computer modelling, Polya is playful and features bold forms.


Komoda

Font example.

If you like your letters loooong then you’ll love Komoda. This slim typeface is pristine and modern.


Perfograma

Font example.

We’ve gone dotty for this font, inspired by the IBM Harvard, a computer which reads instructions from a perforated card.


Orkney

Font example.

Simple, understated and effective. This geometric font is exquisitely subtle and unique.


Stay Writer

Font example.

Handwritten fonts are as popular as ever, and this charming font is delicate and beautifully crafted.


Gloss & Bloom

Font example.

This cheeky little brush font is oh-so-fabulous. Swishing across a page it simply cannot be ignored.


Black Drama

Font example.

Who doesn’t love a little drama in their typeface? This theatrical font likes to stand out from the crowd.
