Typography Trends for 2014

Each year we see new website design trends changing. With these changes come the new trends in the elements that help in creating the sites. Typography is one of the most important design elements. In this year, we are going to be witness to some exciting changes about how the designers use fonts. Here are some of the trends developing in the current year.

Use of handwritten fonts on social media is steadily picking up. These types of fonts are being used for breaking the monotonous appearance of conventional fonts. With unclean lines and irregular size of the letters, the handwritten fonts create human touch to the text in logo design, brochure design etc.

Mix and match of fonts are likely to be a new trend this year. Careful combining of different fonts can create artistic look of a site. The designers mix the fonts to achieve a combined impact of different personalities of fonts for web pages.

Large fonts are likely to emerge as a new trend. This is because of emphasis on content than aesthetic of the web design. Increased screen resolutions have already made standard 12 point font irrelevant. So, web page headings may have large fonts for quick and effective communication with the viewers. You can clearly mention about your choice of fonts in design brief when you launch website designer contest on a crowdsourcing site.
