Typography will always be a vital part of design and is something you definitely need to stay up-to-date on. And with so many options out there nowadays we thought it would be helpful to ask some industry experts to create a selection of the best 2024 fonts.
We let a team of 7 different designers put together a selection of free fonts and premium fonts, that range from display fonts, serifs, mono fonts, scripts, and sans serifs. We know how long the process of finding that perfect font can be during a new design project so hopefully, this list will help you out.
To create this list of the best 2024 fonts they used the most common font platforms such as Adobe Fonts (offering free fonts for every Creative Cloud member), MyFonts, Google Fonts, and several lovely independent type foundries. Most of us are familiar with the most popular fonts in graphic design, but you’ll probably want to avoid using the “obvious” fonts and use something more original instead.
50 of the best 2024 fonts

The Future from the Klim Type Foundry is one of those fonts you just want to start designing with right away when you see it.As they describe it themselves: “The Future is a homage to Futura, Paul Renner’s progressive classic.

14. Etna
We’re experiencing more and more flashbacks to the past in all types of design and art. The retro-inspired typeface Etna by Mark Simonson brings back a wood type style of the late 19th century and had to be among our 2024 fonts.Etna tames this quirky Victorian design into a complete family suitable for modern use, adding a full range of six weights and italics, allowing it to work equally well for both text and display.

Available: Adobe Fonts
15. Alfabet
Designed by Mateusz Machalski and is the result of over 3 years of work on a typeface inspired by Swiss and German designers & researchers. The main idea was to create a sans-serif with a geometric and strong feeling. One of those free fonts that are such a powerful asset to keep up your sleeve.

Selected as one of the first for this list of 2024 fonts, another gem from Hoodzpah.

20. Retail
Retain by Ohno Type is loved for its unique and distinctive design which has made it a popular choice among designers and typographers. This typeface, created by James Edmondson, is characterized by its clean, geometric forms and a sense of both modernity and nostalgia.
Retail's design draws inspiration from mid-20th-century retail signage and branding, which gives it a timeless and familiar quality. Although Ohno Type has a large amount of typefaces available in Adobe Fonts, Retail is at the moment of writing only available at their own shop. But it’s definitely worth it.

21. Trade Gothic
Designed by Jackson Burke in 1948, he continued to work on other weights and styles until 1960 when he was director of type development for Mergenthaler-Linotype. Trade Gothic is one of those typefaces that have been around for decades but isn’t that saturated or “over-used” at all. With 14 different styles and weights, there’s enough to choose from for your design project. It’s amazing to see how different its appearance is between the condensed and extended options.
When working on a brand identity you’ll need a font that can help you with the different “brand touchpoints”. When you’re looking for the best font for business cards, for example, you’ll notice that legibility is one of the most important factors. Not only do the alphabetical letters need to be easy and clear to read, but numerals are one of those elements of a font that often get overlooked. Some typefaces have a slight resemblance between the “1” and “7”, which is something you don’t want to happen in your telephone number on your business card, am I right? Trade Gothic is an example of a very decent, functional typeface with enough character to be distinctive.

22. TT Globs
TT Globs is designed by Antonina Zhulkova and Yulia Gonina from TypeType and is one of those free fonts that is so different than the rest that you just want to start playing around with it. Some of our panel members used TT Globs throughout the year and they demanded it was added to our 2024 fonts. Just a lovely typeface that brings so much to your design.As the designers from TypeType describe it themselves: “We were inspired to develop TT Globs by the idea to unite historical slabs with contemporary perceptions about fonts, their uses, and display shapes of letters. We wanted to make curves more mechanical and rather modular, which would be very much in contrast with the cozy lines from historical specimens. The main visual features of TT Globs are the long display serifs, which create a unified text image and connect all the letters, especially uppercase, into an almost uninterrupted dynamic chain.”
Available: Adobe Fonts
23. Mercato
Another wonderful gem from Mateusz Machalski. Mercato is the perfect combination between a characteristic display font and the iconic, hand-lettered supermarket signs.
Mateusz describes the process of creating Mercato: “The idea for this family was born a few years ago in South America. I wanted to create a typeface that is written, expressive, and organic on the one hand and thrown into a geometric frame on the other. In 2021, in an old specimen, I found a beautiful thick display lettering called Chrysler, which became the starting point for the project.”

24. Madre Script
Madre Script is a lovely script typeface available on Adobe Fonts, and it's known for its elegant and cursive style. It exudes a sense of sophistication and luxury, making it a popular choice for any design project that’s in need of some elegance. It mimics the flowing, hand-written strokes, giving it a personalized and refined look. Among these 2024 fonts aren’t a lot of script fonts but this flourishing one needed to be here.
One of the biggest features of Madre Script is the inclusion of decorative flourishes and swashes. These elements add a touch of individuality and richness to the script, making it particularly suitable for formal designs like wedding invitations, greeting cards, letterheads, and other marketing materials.

26. Cheee
Not the first time we’re mentioning Cheee and it probably won’t be the last. Some fonts can carry a design on their own and this display typeface from Ohno Type is definitely an example of this. Slap a random word on your packaging covered in Cheee and you’re on your way to creating something beautiful.
Sometimes a font inspires you instantly once you start working with it and Cheee never disappoints. Not the obvious fit for most conventional brands, but all the better it will work for edgy and fresh brands.

27. Auguste Sans
Auguste Sans from Colophon Foundry is definitely one of our favorites at the moment. Its clean lines and geometric forms give it a contemporary and versatile edge we absolutely love. This typeface strikes a balance between legibility and style, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of projects. Probably not the first font that comes to mind when it comes to best ui fonts, but using Auguste Sans for smaller headers can add a lot of character to your project. Something a lot of online environments lack nowadays.
Whether you're working on editorial design, branding, or web projects, Auguste Sans offers a polished and distinctive look. Its variety of weights and styles ensure flexibility, while the attention to detail in its design allows it to shine in both headlines and body text.

30. Redondo Ave
Redondo Ave is a delightful typeface from Hoodzpah’s Amy Hood that combines nostalgia with a modern look & feel. This script font is the perfect choice for projects that are in need of some script type with personality.As Amy describes Redondo Ave herself: “Redondo Ave script font is an organic, casual, yet sumptuously extra font that you can dress up or down. Redondo Ave comes in 2 weights, with 560 glyphs. This retro-inspired display font adds instant personality to any design or layout. Like Jennifer Coolidge, it has an extravagance that’s simultaneously down to earth.”
Available: Adobe Fonts
31. Gooper
Designed as a modern sibling of the infamous typeface Cooper, the Oakland-based Very Cool Studio lives up to its name with this beautiful type family. Gooper is much more versatile due to the number of weights and styles. We really like the light versions and with the Italic options, this might be one of the best fonts for projects that are in need of some quirkiness.
It even has semi-condensed and condensed which we really missed about the original Cooper typeface. Looking at the current trends made this without a doubt one of the best 2024 fonts to keep an eye on. Add instant character to your work with Cooper, modern nostalgia at its finest.

34. Financier Display
Another beauty from type studio Klim, Financier Display is probably one of our favorite serif typefaces at the moment. As they describe it themselves: “Financier is an elegant, authoritative serif with an undeniable British heritage.” It was drawn for the redesign of the Financial Times in 2014 and it looks so good for headers, wordmarks, and any larger-scale or short-form text. For long-form text such as articles, books, or other publications you would probably be better off with the Financier Text variation of this type family. And looks even better when combined together. Financier is absolutely one of the best fonts for websites with large pieces of text if you ask us.

36. Dopple
Dopple, one of the latest typefaces from Colophon Foundry that was released in 2023, is an expressive type family with 5 weights, and 20 styles with a variable option.
As the designers from Colophon Foundry describe it themselves: “Dopple, a name born out of various iterations and translations of doubling and duality, is an exploration into the extremes of expression within a single typographic family. Moving from a Regular to a Black weight, the design becomes increasingly graphic in its transition from straight to flared lines. Although monolinear in contrast, the more neutral Regular weight has its own idiosyncratic moments — with rounded corners and asymmetrical shapes — which are expanded and extrapolated as it travels through the weight range.”
Available: Colophon Foundry
37. MD Nichrome
Retro-inspired designs are all the rage at the moment and this spectacular typeface from Mass-Driver reminds us of how beautiful that nostalgic aesthetic was and still is. Perfect for posters, packaging, and just about anything that needs a display font. This designer font has grown in popularity since its release and is here to stay.

Available: Adobe Fonts
39. TT Autonomous Mono
TT Autonomous Mono was designed by Anna Tikhonova, Antonina Zhulkova, Eugene Tantsurin, and Yulia Gonina from TypeType. The team from TypeType describes the birth of the idea of this typeface: “The idea was born in Amsterdam when one of our colleagues took the official electric taxi at the Schiphol airport. At the moment we were thinking about creating a new wide sans serif, and an interesting question emerged during the trip: what font would be associated with autonomous electric transport? Then we thought it would also be nice to expand this theme visually.”

40. Neue Haas Grotesk
Some fonts are always handy to keep around for future design projects. In case you’re looking for a true workhorse typeface that can help you design an array of applications, Neue Haas Grotesk is there to help you out. Without a doubt one of the best sans serif fonts of all time and one of the best fonts for design overall.
Whether you need to work on a long-form text, design a brand identity, or create a contemporary website, this sans-serif family has all the options you need (and then some). It was designed by Max Miedinger and Christian Schwartz and contains 16 different styles.

As Mark describes this font himself: “Lakeside (2008) is a flowing 1940s-style brush script, inspired by hand-lettered titles in Otto Preminger’s classic 1944 film noir movie “Laura”. Lakeside uses OpenType magic to automatically mimic real hand lettering, choosing the best letter shapes based on where they fall in a word and what letters are nearby.”
Available: Adobe Fonts
43. Degular
Degular is the perfect mix between technical and outgoing. It checks all the boxes to be a well-built typeface but with the use of some very characteristic letter forms and the overall appearance of the typeface, this is the perfect choice to use for a modern, fresh brand. Often featured among lists of the best Adobe fonts and we completely understand this. With so many different weights and styles, you can come very far by just using this typeface for your project.
For longer-form reads, however, we would advise adding a typeface for body text as well as Degular can be harder to read at a small scale for some people. Other than that, just an amazing typeface from the upcoming type foundry Ohno Type Co. Nowadays we have a lot more choice when it comes to free fonts, and we’re thrilled to see whatever this foundry will release in the near future.

44. Kepler
Kepler is an impressive type family counting 168 different serif fonts.

It is elegant and refined with a hint of oldstyle proportion and calligraphic detailing that lends it warmth and energy.

45. Atyp
Designed by Tomáš Brousil, the Atyp font family is an amazing collection of 25 fonts with some characteristics you won’t expect to see in a geometric sans serif. When you take a closer look at the capital “A” and lowercase “y”, for example, you’ll notice that the way of building a letter isn’t something you see very often and features like this can set your design apart.
Unique letter forms like this make Atyp one of the best fonts for logos as it will give your wordmark enough original features that can make an impact on your design. Geometric typography and clean, utility-inspired graphic design styles are still all the rage at the moment so characteristic fonts such as Atyp are among the best 2024 fonts to use for your design projects.

46. Monorama
Another beauty from the Indian Type Foundry: Monorama. “A family of caps-only display fonts. Its letterforms are sans serif and quite industrial-looking. While text set in the four Monorama fonts appears at first glance to be monospaced, that is just a strong look; in actuality, the letters have proportional widths. Monorama contains a number of constructed-design hallmarks.”A wonderful mono font that will give your design a strong, functional look and bring a lot of harmony to your layout. Definitely one of those 2024 fonts you should keep close for your design projects.

It shines on luxe food packaging or high-end menus.”

50. Lowdrag
Last but certainly not least as this list was in a random order, Lowdrag by Fort Foundry. This amazing foundry has a couple of fonts in this list already but Lowdrag couldn’t be excluded in the best 2024 fonts. Lowdrag was designed by Clark Orr and has different 8 styles to offer. Amazing to see this is made available along with all the other lovely free fonts from Fort Foundry.
As they describe the typeface themselves: “Lowdrag can race to the scene of your next project with vintage charm and flair. Like an old friend with new sideburns, it's got its quirks, but retains some familiar charm. Take it for a spin on a spirited label or make headlines for that new gig you got in town. Lowdrag won't promise that people will show up, but at least the flyer will look nice.”

Tips on choosing fonts for designers
There it is! 50 of the best 2024 fonts for designers. Maybe some categories are less represented than you might have wanted, but hopefully, this list will give you enough fonts to work with.
It’s interesting to see how graphic design trends evolve each year and how the use of fonts grows along with these trends as well. Handwriting/script fonts, for example, are very popular at the moment. Check out our list of the best handwriting fonts to fulfill your handwritten needs.
One question we hear a lot is whether you still need to convert your fonts to outlines before exporting them for print. Although most of us got educated to always convert them to avoid any issues during the printing process, is this still necessary?
Also, keep an eye out for our 2024 Trendbook as we’ll be looking into even more trends to get you ready for next year.
Working on a design project? In case you need a spark of inspiration and want to know what’s expected to be on trend in 2024, we summed up 24 of the biggest graphic design trends for 2024 to give you an idea of what this year will (probably) look like.
