We’ve found 5 font trends emerging in 2025, and we’ve scoured leading design agencies and font directories to curate a list of 20 fonts that embody this year’s font trends.
Here they are:
Trend #1: Handwritten with love
Handwritten fonts have seen a surge in popularity in 2025, showing us a desire for authenticity and personal connection in a digital-first world.
Designers and entrepreneurs are gravitating towards more approachable, human, and unique designs. Handwritten fonts add warmth and character to brand identities. It’s also appealing to folks who cherish a handcrafted look! Which most of us are suckers for these days.
The imperfections in these fonts convey individuality, helping brands feel more relatable in a polished, ultra-modern marketplace. This trend underscores a growing demand for genuine, heartfelt communication in both design and messaging. People want to feel connected to the brand!
This trend is popular in industries with handcrafting roots – like clothing, skincare, food and drink, and perfume. Check out the real-world examples below!Popup Bagels took NYC by storm with their delicious handmade bagels – and a handmade logo font to match.

Trend #2: Weild the brush
The fast and dynamic movements of a brush stroke are in this year. The sweeping look of a brush was seen creeping up all over the branding and design world.
Brush fonts have a bold and expressive personality. These fonts usually slant forward to mimic hand movement. That of a quick signature or the mark of a fast-moving brand.
These fonts are popular in personal branding due to their legibility and signature-like look. It also works well for beauty, food, and beverage industries and for brands that teeter on the balance of modern and old-fashioned.
Brush fonts have many looks. Whether it’s a gritty, textured style or a bold and refined script, brush fonts are versatile in their looks and usage. Here are some examples to illustrate:

Trend #3: Bold display
The booming, in-command presence of a capitalized, bold font has become a main font trend this year, from Looka users to design agencies like Collins. Bold fonts give a sense of confidence and authority. One capitalized word draws more attention than a whole sentence in lowercase.
This trend aligns with the broader move toward functional designs, where typography styles and good copy act as a centerpiece. It’s a graphic design trend this year!
The rise of bold fonts also reflects a shift toward clean, unapologetic visuals. Designers are leaning into simplicity with impact. Bold display fonts can take on many styles. Here are some examples of bold fonts in many different environments and uses.

Trend #4: Look to the future
Technology is the main driver in our ever-changing world. Although we still don’t have flying cars – we can’t help but lean into the cool new technologies shaping the future. This desire has manifested into futuristic font choices in branding and design.
These fonts embody a sense of innovation, progress, and tech advancement. So they work well for brands or designers that want to align to those concepts. We saw sleek, geometric logo shapes, unique ligatures and features, and an overall minimalist look.
They work well for industries like gaming, tech startups, digital products, or science fiction-inspired concepts. Here are some unique futuristic fonts we saw in the design space:

Trend #5: Imperfect sans
This font trend is a balance of our first trend, handwritten fonts, with the crisp look of sans serif font. Born out of the desire to have the pristine legibility of a sans serif font but with the playful look of a handwritten font, this trend is all about standing out but standing firm.
For the folks looking for the in-between of individuality and modernity – we saw the rise of a mish-mash of styles originating from a standard sans serif typeface. Rounded corners, circular apertures, ligatures, and super-long lettering are some of the qualities we noticed. But overall, folks opted for a unique quirk to make the font their own.
This font trend is amongst the most versatile – suitable for any industry and giving designers the freedom to go in any direction they want. Here are some examples of that:

The importance of font trends
As designers, entrepreneurs, and creative folks, we’re always looking for inspiration and new ideas to keep us moving. Making the same type of design and using the same types of fonts is boring and doesn’t move or resonate with anyone. Evolving is part of our DNA.
That’s why we dive into the data and design world to see what folks are up to and why.
We’re fueled by desires and needs whether we like it or not, so why not use that to your advantage and relate to people better? Here’s a summary of the font trends we covered for you to keep in your back pocket.
- Handwritten with love – the need for a handmade, personalized appeal
- Wield the brush – bold, dynamic movement and flow
- Bold display – saying more with less
- Look to the future – Leaning into progress and advancement
