At first sight, they look kind of the same. However, if you pay a little more attention, you’ll notice that TT Norms has got a fresher and cleaner cut.

Raleway is so yesterday, but Clother lives in the present

Clother is not only a lot more aired, but also has a very modern touch to it.

Trivia Serif is the new Playfair Display

Having them both side by side, we can undoubtedly notice that Trivia Serif stands out a little bit more than Playfair Display. Rather similar, we can seriously state that sometimes in the future, Trivia Serif might even replace Playfair Display when it comes to people’s choices.

Vesterbro, not Merriweather

Merriweather is a condensed, rather mechanical font that seemed to attract lots of looks and be a top notch choice for lots of people. Nevertheless, some designs look better with spaced fonts such as Vesterbro.

They’re almost like two peas in a pod. Even so, San Francisco seem to be a rather preferred choice lately.
