Types Of Free Fonts 

There are many different fonts in digital design, each with its unique meaning and scope. Let's take a closer look at the main types.

1. Serif Type

    This type is one of the oldest ones. It was created between the 15th and 18th centuries. These fonts have lines or strokes in the letters; that is why they look ornate. Designers use this style for their retro compositions because it resorts to classic outlines and looks organically. Some developers even use it in medieval-themed games. This type of font is usually used for writing body text - whether it be books or Internet resources. The font is the easiest for an eye to percept, and the extract is easy to read. 

2. Sans Serif Fonts

This type is opposite to the serif one. It is impossible to find some lines in the letters here. It is well-depicted on displays because there are not small details that can seem lost or too large because of the resolution. Due to its simplicity, it has become the favorite style for ads and banners. Sometimes writers use them to emphasize the sentence or phrase by outlining or putting them in blackened bold. 

3. Scripts

This typeface is famous for its letter connection type. In comparison to serif and sans-serif ones, fluent strokes connect the letters one to another. They remind handwriting. Such models can mostly be applied to logo and postcard designs because it is easy to create a new unique type, especially for a particular logo. They will fit for the historical documents adaptation or simulation, as there is a wide variety of the fonts styled to a specific historical period.

4. Decorative

This type is the youngest among the others and appeared in the 19th century. People often use them to create posters and advertisements because they are eye-catching and easy to remember. They stand out among others - you can easily recognize the screensaver of old horror films and imagine this bloody text, right? 

Where To Use Free Fonts

Also, various postcards are gaining popularity now. Decorative fonts and scripts dominate these. You can make a unique gift for your friend and, besides, please him with an unusual postcard with good wishes. And it is all with a beautiful style and a sense of taste.

Also, designers appreciate the unique type of fonts. In search of new solutions for their ideas, they often resort to font templates because they can be used to create a unique typographic logo. You can decorate your sketchbook or personal diary with them. You can also apply them to make home furnishings, photo frames, clothing prints - absolutely no limits to your ideas!

Relevant Trends In Free Fonts

1. Humanizing Serifs

It is one of the leading trends nowadays. Why? The reason is that serifs are considered to be the best for storytelling. That is why they always grab attention and are worthy of drawing inspiration from.  Therefore, they evoke nostalgia, which is why you can catch yourself thinking of childhood and times when the world was not so digital. 

2. Round Sans-Serifs 

According to geometric psychology, round or circle shapes remain the completeness of the composition. That is why such a solution will be great to reflect your design’s main ideas and make it full of sense.  Although such fonts may seem childish, you can combine them with other tougher and sharper elements. By playing around with the color scheme, you will achieve a stylish and trustworthy figure.

3. Minimalistic 

Many designers resort to removing as much detail as possible and leaving only the basic shape. Fonts are no exception. In this version, you can safely remove all unnecessary lines and go ahead with only what will reflect the essence. It will serve as a useful tool for building a branding image.

4. Retro Seventies and Eighties 

Neon colors, soft outlines, and catchy silhouettes are all at the top of the trend right now. So why not use this for your fonts? Such options will look great on postcards, prints since they create references to the atmosphere of the 70s and 80s loved by many.

5. Pixel Art

This typeface may seem thoughtless and funny. However, with the right choice of colors, they will look trustworthy and memorable. Plus, 8-bit graphics are now in the spotlight again so that you won't miss the mark with this style.

6. Rustic Fonts

This typeface combines characteristics of serifs and scripts at the same time. They are most suitable for creating logos for breweries, craft products, or handicraft accessories. They stand out among others due to the clever interweaving of winged and sharp forms.
