5 Trending Fonts for 2014

Font styles and trends are always changing; and new font styles are always being created. In order to keep your designs fresh and current I will go over 5 fonts that will be trending for 2014. Although sans-serif is on top right now, I believe serif fonts will be making a comeback this year. All of the fonts I will list below are free for both personal and commercial use.

1. Open Sans

Open Sans is a great font for both headings and paragraph text. It is easy to read and a simple font, so it’s great for the current web design trends of simple & minimal.

2. Roboto

Roboto comes in many varients, both condensed & bold, as well as serif and sans-serif. Roboto is a great font for use with main headings like h1’s and h2’s.

3. Lato

Lato is yet another clean and modern looking sans serif font. It is a very crisp font that works great for both headings and normal paragraph text.

4. Droid Serif

Created for the Android platform, Droid Serif is a perfect font for readability. This font goes great for use in both paragraphs and headings.

5. Arvo

Arvo is a very clean and more modern serif font that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a very clean cut font that is great for use on screen and print.
