now you might be surprised to learn that i myself only use eight maybe 10 typefaces on 95
of my graphic design projects and i've been asked many times which
typefaces do i use which fonts do i commonly use for different projects
and today's video i'm going to divulge exactly what typefaces and what fonts i use
for my graphic design projects because there are certain ones that i keep coming back to
over and over again and there are some typefaces that are perfect for specific design projects
now probably my most favorite typeface of 2020 and 2021 is lron and this font family has many
different fonts within it and it just looks so beautiful so clean so modern and so versatile
i use it on a lot of my graphic design videos that you see here on youtube and i also use it a lot of
my thumbnails as well and i get so many comments saying oh what fun is that what font is that what
font is that well a lot of the time is probably gonna be eron because the typeface has so many
different weights in it it's very very versatile it can be used on body text it can be used in
titles or headings and also the numerical values look pretty awesome too and one of the great ways
to use aeron is on posters or on kind of big impacting headings but yeah i cannot get enough
of this modern sleek sans serif from family oh yeah and it's also free so yeah there's that too
the next one i get asked about quite a lot is red wing and this was designed by a friend
of mine jeremy nelson who's got an excellent website that you can check out linked down below
but yeah redwing is really awesome and it comes in different fun ways and i personally like to use it
a lot when using numbers or numerical values and again this has been used on a lot of my thumbnails
on youtube and many comments have been asking what is that font there's something about it that just
really works when it comes to using numbers but of course the characters the lettering itself is also
really neat too but yeah red wing is really good for titles and headings i feel another typeface
that's really great for headings and titles and it's been a long favor of mine is babus
it's really quite a narrow sans-serif font and it's really impacting and that's why it's so
good for using on headings and titles and the graphic designs for the free version of vegas
there is only irregular and bold and the thickness is actually the same but it's a slight difference
in the style of the lettering of the characters and you can see that here there's just a slight
difference in the way the font is designed in the different ways but yeah bavis is really good
for those titles in his headings where you really want to make an impact and a visual
presence now we're gonna get even more narrow for another sans serif font and that is antonio
i haven't spoken about this on my channel before i don't think but antoni is really awesome and
it comes in both regular and a bold version and like i said this one is more narrow even than
biebus and i personally like to use this on things like posters or headings or titles and it's just a
really unique typeface that i feel that you should grab and download for free now moving away from
sans-serif fonts i have a serif font that i've shown on this channel before and that is hawaii
now kobayasi is really beautiful and it's a really unique serif font and it does come in only
uppercase lettering so again this one's great for those titles or those headings that you want to
use a serif font on and again this one's free as well which is pretty surprising considering
how beautiful it is and like babies there are two different versions or two different
ways but the weights are the same it's just different styles of lettering
when you use letter in kubaise there's slight alterations on some of the characters which
gives it a very unique touch indeed next up we're going back to sans serif font and that is roboto
now this typeface was designed in 2011 by christian robertson and i'm guessing his surname
robertson is why it's called roboto but that's just a guess now the fonts within roboto have
been called kind of frankenfonts because they look like a mixture of helvetica universe and myriad
but whatever it looks like or whatever people say it looks like i personally think roboto
looks really really awesome there are many different font weights in the family and it's
really really versatile much like lron and you can almost use this anywhere you want to no list
of typefaces or fonts is complete without a slab serif and that's why in this one i've got bitter
bitter is one of my favorite slab serif fonts of all time or even pretty much
just typefaces in general i think the characters are really beautifully constructed and they're
really well thought out and considering it is a free download it's really really neat indeed
another close second in the terms of a slab surf typeface would be elio but yeah going
back to bitter this can be used on body text and on headings and titles as well and it's great for
things like landing pages and so forth quite a lot of designers don't know how to use slab serif so
they kind of steer away from them but i think they hold a very unique and a very articulate
look about them and then rounding off the list of typefaces i personally keep coming back to and
using over and over again is crimson crimson is another free serif typeface that you can download
right now and it does have a lot of weights within that family which again just means
it's very versatile and very easy to use across many different kinds of designs and you can see
it being used here alongside helvetica and i've always said on this channel that pairing up fonts
in terms of serif and sans surf is always a good thing to do if done correctly of course but yeah a
quick side note when i was in university helvetica was one of my favorite typefaces i didn't used to
think about what the design needed in terms of typography i just slapped on helvetica and it
did work quite often because helvetica is just a nice typeface anyway but yeah i kind of grew
out of it because i overused it and i became bored with it and i think helvetica is kind
of overused in the design industry i do prefer elrond over helvetica these days of course i do
use other fonts and typefaces such as monsterats and you know there's so many more but these are
the typefaces i mainly use and keep coming back to for most of my projects and for people who
are saying why are you squinting or why your eyes closed well there's a big bright light just right
there and that's pretty much why i'm squinting but anyway guys if you want to learn something else
