Fonts and What I Like: Poster Edition
Hi! So for todays’s topic I’m going to talk about my favourite fonts poster and further explain the reason why. I have two favourite which are Avenir and Baskerville.
Avenir
One of my favourite is Avenir. This poster some might say it is ‘messy’ but for me it’s informative and straightforward. Created in 1988 by Adrian Frutiger, Avenir means “future” in French. Avenir is a sans-serif typeface. As you can see the poster above shows the information about Avenir. Also another reason why I like it because it have a big font family! You can use many type and style. I like to see all the weights there! Examples of brand that use Avenir font is Spotify.
Baskerville
Next is Baskerville. I like this poster because it screams vintage and very Shakespeare-ish. Baskerville was created in year 1757 by John Baskerville. By far the oldest font I’ve ever known. Baskerville its a transitional serif typeface. I’m all about the black and white aesthetic and although it looks messy but it’s informative that you can even learn the history of it! How cool is that? Example brand that use Baskerville font is Kate Spade New York.
Extra + End
There are about 200,000+ fonts in the world and there’s no way that I only like these two only. You guys should check the other fonts. Each of them is unique in their own way. Don’t be afraid to explore!
