Without further ado, here are our top 10 Adobe fonts to use in 2021.

1. Neue Haas Unica

The last year has seen the consumption of an excessive amount of information via the news. However, as a modern society, we want information quickly, and the best way to achieve that (besides offering video) as a media outlet is to use a clear, simple font. This Helvetica alternative was originally released in the 80s before virtually disappearing for some time; luckily, it has been updated for use in today’s world, with 18 styles that work well in a number of applications.

2. Operetta

Aesthetic words of affirmation are appearing daily on social media as the pandemic rages on, prompting many accounts to share and reshare to provide emotional support for their own online circles. These quotes are easy for anyone to create with Operetta, a contemporary serif font family with an abundant set of characters (911 per style!).

3. Oskar Inline

This all-caps family is inspired by Dutch architectural and commercial letterings from the 20th century, nodding to the old shop fronts and signages of the era. Cultivated by sign painters, the style has an artisanal quality despite its clean lines and contemporary feel.

4. Lust Script

Dubbed by its creator, Neil Summerour, as a ‘typographic guilty pleasure’, Lust is perfect for display purposes with its sharp serifs and curvaceous lines. Five years in the making, this font was designed to be blown up for large applications – ideal for posters and wall stickers.

5. Westsac

Created by Chank Fonts, Westsac is a quirky font with a quirky creation story (we’ll let you read that on the foundry’s website). The Roman-influenced lettering has a handwritten, almost scribbled quality that is both fun and easy to read.

6. Narly

Vintage computer fonts can always be fun, but Narly takes the font to another level with a more intricate design and the chance to mix fonts within the family for customisation. The font family features a structure based on a series of overlapping circular dots, created as an experiment with modularity, repetition and chance.

7. Utopian

Reflective of its name, Utopian was created with simplicity and harmony in mind. The fonts work well with primary colours, bringing modular order to designs of all applications. The family contrasts with its alter ego, Dystopian, which was made for monochromatic compositions with a darker look and feel.

8. Olicana

With today’s heavy reliance on digital technology, could consumers be yearning for a nod to simpler, analogue times in design – even if it is paired with a product or service that could enhance and complement their modern life? Olicana is based on handwriting with a fountain pen, even including ligatures, swashes and ink splats reflective of the medium.

9. New Hero

Organisations looking to enhance accessibility compliance will be delighted to discover that New Hero includes a unique feature that font foundry Newlyn has trademarked as their Accessibility Set. This not only enhances compliance on the web, but also has benefits for UI/UX, broadcast media and signage design.
