Typography is such an important factor in design and communication in general. Because not only does the actual message have an important role in conveying a certain message, but what to think about the type of style that message is made with.
You’ve probably seen those ‘fonts matters memes’ of the same text set in two completely different fonts. Turning an adorable ‘You’ll always be mine’ message in a cute, curly font into something completely creepy when it’s made with a style that would be used on a poster for a horror movie. Usually the differences aren’t that far apart but you get the point, typography matters. Like a lot.
Over centuries there have been some typefaces that stood the test of time and proven themselves to be one of the greatest typefaces ever made. We’re not ranking these based on taste as that is pretty subjective and different for each of us but what are those biggest, most influential typefaces from the last centuries that have shaped graphic design to what it is right now? Let’s have a look.
