today's video is going to test your knowledge of fonts while also giving you free for commercial
fonts to use on your projects i'm going to show you two or more fonts and ask you to point out
which specific font id you can see and then you can tell how well you do at the very
end of today's video and sponsoring today's video is a long-term partner of this channel
skillshare now skillshare is an online learning community where you can pick up new skills
and implement them in impacting ways heading into 2022 skillshare can really help you
master that niche sector of design that you always wanted to and you can learn more
about skillshare later in today's video so let's start with this here which one of these is lron
both are sans-serif typeface of course and they do look pretty neat but which one of these is l run
now if you guess that the one on the left is l run then you are correct elrond is one of
my favorite all-time sans sans-serif font families because it's so versatile and it does look so neat
next to it we have calsans and that only comes in one font weight when it's downloaded free
for commercial use but it is still pretty decent and so next up we have two more fonts to see here
this time they are both serif fonts one of these is from the font family crimson pro
but which one is it take a closer look and see which one you think is crimson
so yeah the correct answer here is the font on the left
the other font is in fact joan the crimson font family is available on google fonts and it comes
in a wide variety of different weights however joan is only presented in one weight when it's
free for commercial use but once again they're both really neat and they're both tidy typefaces
so we're going to step things up a bit now and we have three different fonts on screen
one of these is a highly acclaimed notorious typeface babis new the
other two are from different font families but which one of these do you think is babis
the font in the middle is in fact bayless
on the left we have mango grotesque and on the right is gal go condensed all three would be
really great for poster designs and impacting graphic design works but which one of these is
actually your favorite anyway now again this time around we have three different choices
but in this instance we can see three different slab serif fonts which one of these is rockwell
now i can tell you that the font on the far right is in fact rockwell
the middle one is libra clarendon and on the left we have my favorite elio elio is a great typeface
and it comes in six different font styles and then libra caradon is available in a whopping 20
font versions all free for commercial use but yeah elio is still my top dog in this section however
so here's another set of sans serif fonts but do you recognize any of them at all
now for this round i'm going to do things a little bit differently
i'm going to say that the one on the left is called radio canada and the one on the right is
called sirius but what is the font in the middle chord when you download the middle one from google
fonts you will end up with 36 fonts within the entire family free for commercial use of course
so the font family in the middle is called open sans kudos to you if you got that one correct
but let's move on to the last round in today's video so one of these fonts is probably the most
requested id of any font i've had on this channel and that is basement grotesque but which one is it
but yeah i do get daily questions on my channel asking what is this font what
is the name of this font and it's amazing that basement grotesque is actually free
so okay which one is it then basement grotesque is the font on the far right next to it on the
left of basement grotesque is droid and next to that we have a font called frick and then
on the far left is anik these are all pretty cool looking typefaces though i think you might agree
now you might know that i'm really a big fan of nice juicy motion graphics and also you
might know that i'm a very busy person with a very tight schedule but i've actually been
using a sponsor of today's video skillshare to improve my motion graphics skills and to
kick off 2022 i decided to take a class on kinetic typography in adobe after effects by phil evaner
you might ask why did i decide to go with motion graphics well that's simply because i do think
that the future of design or graphic design in general is heavily going to be animated so i kind
of want to pick up those skills moving into the future with skillshare it's actually possible to
take each individual lesson in that class whenever you have free time your progress is saved as you
move through each individual lesson and also there are some resources in most of the classes to make
use of there are so many different subjects to make use of in skillshare and we have things like
graphic design animation ui ux design photography writing and so much more and if you are thinking
of being more productive in 2022 then you might want to take a look at this category here
and also you can see that each category is divided up into subcategories as well
