Objektiv, like Sofia before, was ‘that’ Typeface for a very long time for me, with its versatility being the main reason it became ‘the special one’ for such a length of time. I picture Sofia still being ‘that’ Typeface for a good part of 2022 also. I’ve used it for Headlines and Body copy in equal measure, and with its large x-height, it has excellent readability at tiny font sizes, so a fantastic all-rounder for screens of all sizes. It also has an incredible amount of weights and styles to choose from, bringing loads of versatility into the mix.Ĭreated by the talented Olivier Gourvat, it’s a real workhorse of a Typeface.

Sofia is a contemporary Sans-Serif Typeface with a warmth and friendliness to it, something which I found most appealing compared to many other sans-serifs. That go-to Typeface you get hooked on and use for countless personal (and sometimes client) projects.

Sofia has turned into ‘that’ Typeface for me. Here's a small selection of beautiful, practical, and robust Typefaces that I highly recommend, have used consistently throughout 2021, and my brief thoughts on them. Great Type, when used well, can elevate both your design and message significantly and should always be given plenty of consideration for every project you work on. If the web were just amazing Type presented in #000 against a wall of #FFF (with the odd image or video sprinkled about here and there), I'd be pretty content. I'm a massive Type fan, bordering on the obsessive.
