Fonts are a great way to enhance a design even with the help of text. The way each alphabet appears can add to the visual representation of the design. A good font can convey a brand’s personality easily without stealing the focus from the actual message being conveyed. Today, designers have access to a huge variety of fonts available which can be used to make a graphic design stand out. To make the most of these fonts, designers need to stay updated about the latest fonts and how they can be used on their designs.

• Wanderlust

A bold font which works great for headlines, Wanderlust is a bold serif font. The unique rounded edges with the pronounced ridges make the font an amazing choice for flyers, brochures and social media designs. The font was created keeping in mind a rustic, solid and yet a dynamic modern vibe which can be added to the designs. Designed by Jan Henkel, this font comes with uppercase and lowercase alphabets and numbers.

• Lust Display

Some typographic fonts have certain design features that separate from the rest of the simple fonts. These fonts can be created by using a contrasting weight in each alphabet for an artistic yet distinguished look.

Created by Neil Summerour, each alphabet finishes off in a tapered thin stroke adding to the visual that the font creates when used in headlines.

• Coves
