As a designer, I’m obsessed with fonts. Here are a few fonts, I’ve really been loving lately.

I use Sofia Pro a lot for UI design, it’s very versatile and can be used for just about anything. It has a relaxing and tech feeling.

The “sharp” type family is great for trustworthy and tech branding. Firefox just used it for their new logo mark.

60’s pop gives a sense of futuristic fun, great for fun clubs and restaurants.

I used Caviar Dreams to brand ice cream, but have also seen it for a champaign canned drink called “bubbly.” Great for food/drink branding.

Raleway is classy and elegant, oftentimes used for many different companies, especially designers. Amsale bridal company uses this font on their website.

Lust type is an elegant font that can be used for wedding invitations, perfume products, beauty products, and fashion design.

Aqua font says it in its name, a perfect font for brands symbolizing water, beach fun and summertime.

Quick is another elegant typeface, great for luxurious brands.

Luzi type/Buenos aires — simple and great for UI design and posters.

Simplifica is a simple and beautiful typeface, very easy to read.

Moon type is another great font for UI, especially for nighttime/ alarm clock apps. It also gives a sense of relaxation similar to Sofia Pro typeface.

I love this font because it looks like a tech company. The “e” is super fun.

Morganite font is great for posters, movies, drinks, and everything in between. It is very versatile and has such glam.
