7 Font Predictions For 2022

7 Font Predictions For 2022

In this article, I will tell you which are 7 font predictions for 2022. All of them are based on my personal research, knowledge, and market analysis.

7 Font Predictions For 2022

Here it goes.

1. More and more companies will launch their own fonts,

Products, services, and companies look extremely similar in the last years. It is very complicated for customers to see the differences, even if there are any.

For example, cars.

All cars have similar performances, similar prices, similar features, colors, and so on.

Marketing is actually doing the real difference between products and services.

Part of marketing is the font.

Fonts have their own design and voice and can help companies be unique.

I personally believe that more and more companies will launch their own fonts and get rid of the popular free fonts that everybody uses.

The investment can be small and the return very high.

So why not do it?

2. Creating fonts in 2022 will cost much less than today.

This prediction is connected with the one from above.

As more and more companies will launch their very own fonts, the costs will start to decrease. There will be more customers for this service, and for sure costs will be more competitive.

3. Users will choose the fonts they like on their TVs, mobile phones, cars, apps, websites and everything else.

This is the future for fonts.

Users should have the possibility to choose the fonts they like and which they read with ease.

There are fonts that are hard to read, fonts that look weird, and so o.

Let users pick the fonts they love.

This trend is already here but in 2022 it will probably become a condition of a premium website, app, etc.

4. Websites and apps will be recommended to let users choose font size. China is already offering incentives to website owners to do that.

Elders have huge difficulties in using certain websites and apps because of the tiny font sizes.

They represent a huge audience and they should use with ease all the websites we all use.

In plus, websites that will implement this feature will get more sales as elders will start to better use their websites.

5. Font identification (from pictures and websites) will become a skill that everybody will have.

Now it is very simple to identify fonts.

We have WhatFontIs font identifier which is 100% free to use and which is highly accurate and quick.

But even so, there are tons of people that don’t know about this solution and how easy it is to identify fonts from pictures and websites.

In 2022, millions of people will find out about WhatFontIs font identifier and will learn to use it to identify all the fonts they like.

6. Serif fonts vs sans-serif fonts “battle” will continue.

This famous “battle” between serif fonts and sans-serif fonts will continue in 2022.

Both fonts are great to use in different situations, and both fonts have their adepts.

While sans-serif fonts are much simpler to use on websites and apps, serif fonts are better for print – books, magazines, and others.

7. Font design will be around these characteristics.

More or less, fonts design will be made with these in mind:

Alternating baselines

Disco revival

Dynamic lettering

Extra sharp angles

Standout letters

Solid shadows

Typewriter font evolved

Rounded block fonts

Conclusions

At the end of 2022, I will write a follow-up article for this one, so we can find out together which of these predictions were correct and which were not.

Stay with us for the follow-up, and please share the article with your friends that love fonts.
