Hey, designer! Do you have your go-to-go fonts that you use for every project? No shame in that game! But, have you considered exploring typography trends?

Adding a few trending fonts to your tool stack can give your designs a fresh look and elevate your graphic design skills! Since typography is a flexible field that reflects industry trends.

Typography trends are a bit like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get! What works for one project might not work for another, like sometimes a bold font rocks a brand design, but looks weird on a website whereas super legible fonts are great for some projects, but others need a little creative pizzazz to stand out 😉

So designer's let's dive in and discover the latest trends that will be shaping the world of typography in the coming year!

## 1. Liquified

Currently, the most popular writing style includes realistic & abstract elements, yet they also appear fluid and free of defined shapes. 

And while it may seem a little messy at first glance, there's no denying the impressive impact it can have on a design. So get ready to embrace the chaos and explore the exciting possibilities of this popular writing style!

## 2. Iconographic

Despite not adhering to traditional typography rules, these fonts are cheeky and fun. Their chaotic look adds energy and charm to your designs.

Their chaotic look is surprisingly energizing, giving your designs a burst of life and character. So don't be afraid to let loose and embrace the messiness.

## 3. Pixelized

Despite the undying love for our digital tools, the pixels trend continues to roar ahead. It's somewhat similar to the Lego kits, simple square construction that does not diminish it's complexity.

There's something refreshing and timeless about pixels. Designers can't get enough of the pixel aesthetic with its unique combination of both simplicity and complexity. 

Whether you're an experienced designer or just starting out in the field, you can't deny the appeal of this timeless aesthetic.

## 4. Retro Condensed

Condensed typefaces are deceptive. They demand bold designs for packaging, posters & ads. With bold fonts & vibrant colors, designers can create appealing designs.

So, if you're looking to make a statement with your design, consider using a condensed typeface to create a bold and memorable visual impact.
