Must be January, because Monotype has just released its much-anticipated 2023 Type Trends report. The font experts at Monotype describe the annual state of the type union as a snapshot of the design landscape and a collection of work that not only excites them but celebrates the deep well of ingenuity and invention that runs through the creative community.
This year, Monotypeâs report consists of ten significant trends with plenty of analysis and type specimens to boot. Collectively, they reflect the innovations and experimentations with 3D, motion, and AI, but there are also indications of playfulness, inclusion, and diversity throughout the typographic landscape.
“Type is a gateway to an entire conversation around technology and today’s trends,” said Monotype creative type director Terrance Weinzierl in a press release. “This report is an educational collection of work that fascinates and excites us and, most importantly, represents a ripple coursing through the ocean of design. Through these ten trends, we provide perspective of how our daily life is impacting letterforms.”
