Five Fabulous Font Trends for 2021 Part Three

4. Extra Sharp Angles

Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, “Words are alive. Cut them and they bleed,” but nobody expected words to cut back. Many fonts in 2021, however, are being designed to accentuate their sharpest edges, proving the old adage that the pen is mightier than the sword. 

Aside from being notable for the easy attention their extreme angles invite, these are fonts with a literal edge. They feel rebellious and pair well with dark colors and devilish concepts. If your brand logo design is bound for the dark side, you’ll want to make sure you bring something sharp. 

5. Rounded Block Fonts 

In prose, big blocks of text tend to feel daunting. But ever up for a challenge, the font designers of 2021 are pursuing an aggressively blocky look for wordmarks and titles.

Specifically, we are seeing an increase in thick sans serif fonts that look as immovable as stone but contain rounded corners for a softened, retro look fonts like ITC Bauhaus.

As a staple of digital design, rounded corners also convey an immediately modern, hi-tech aesthetic. And when paired with thick letters, the result is fonts that make their subjects feel bold and approachable at the same time.
