Gredaynoir: More fonts is not always better. Some new students blindly install thousands of fonts, but nothing works. This makes font selection in Photoshop particularly troublesome. Up to now, I have reduced it to over 100 fonts on my computer. If you’re a dysphoric. Or you’re not sure which font is appropriate. Start with the ten classic English fonts I recommend.

Have a collection of more than 1,000 fonts, but it’s not really useful
“– That may be true.
At the beginning of the year, I promised to do an English font sharing for novice students. It took me half a year to finish it today. Although I majored in English in college, my English is really mediocre. When working in 4A all the time, boss and colleague are foreigner mostly, so English exchange is more. I have also developed the habit of using English fonts for design.

Chinese and English mixed typesetting is often used in e-commerce. Before, I did not accept the way of Chinese and English mixed typesetting, but since e-commerce design has developed to this stage, it is reasonable to exist. But I think the role of English in e-commerce typesetting should be embellishment, using English fonts as graphics. English fonts should be the same as pentagons or other graphics. Don’t let English words take on the role of information.
This article is not historical, pure dry goods. Simple manual layout demo.
English fonts are a very large system, and this article is just a drop in the bucket. Interested students can search the history of each font on their own. I won’t go into that here.
(This article is not strictly academic and is intended to be shared. Please bear with me that mistakes are inevitable.)

Use one of the most ubiquitous fonts, and one of the most classic. If you really don’t know what font to use in English, use Helvetica. In almost any ranking of English fonts, Helvetica is no. 1.
Helvetica (including Helvetica Neue) was also an apple staple. There was even a documentary film about it, The Legendary Helvetica. Interested friends can look for.
There is an improved version of Helvetica called Helvetica Neue, with 51 different thicknesses to choose from. It has a classification system similar to Lanzhou noodles. It contains capillary, fine, tripe, tripe, leek leaves, small wide, wide, large wide…
Helvetica, the world’s most popular English font

Akzidenz-grotesk is also a very classic typeface, predating Helvetica and having a significant influence on Helvetica, Univers, and others. The akzidenz-Grotesk font is even stingier with strokes than Helvetica, and using akzidenz-Grotesk feels more classiccompared to current typefaces.

The Didot font should not be said. It represents the most fashionable font in fashion. Flat web pages are suitable. Even though it’s a bad font, it’s still ugly.

Futura was once a popular typeface for Volkswagen and Ikea. Both fonts are Futura variants. But both have since abandoned the font. One reason may be that Futura is too sharp and lacks affinity. It may also be that the font design makes polyalphabetic typography difficult, with bold Futura taking up more length.
I personally like sharp, cool fonts like Futura, which look better with the right images.

Univers was designed by typographer Adrian Frutiger. As the name suggests, Frutiger, another famous font, is his work. Univers has a more rational outline than Helvetica, with its precise shape and even strokes. Both large and small words have good shape, especially Univers Condensed, which is more modern and design. Thus Univers is more niche than Helvetica.

Another famous serif font is Bodoni, who was born later than Didot. These two fonts are often compared side by side. Bodoni’s strokes are bolder while retaining the elegant form. Much better than Didot in terms of ease of use.

Trajan Pro is also a very popular serif font. This font is improved on the basis of the font of ancient Roman stele, so with a thick ancient style. Especially suitable for film, game and other related industries. Roman fonts at the time did not have lower case, so the lower case of this font is actually a miniaturization of the upper case font.

Neo Sans was once all the rage as Intel’s go-to font. Neo Sans, which was created in 2004, is a younger font than its predecessors, but it also has a beautiful modern curve. Perhaps because of the cooperation with Intel, this font has a strong sense of technology. Neo Tech is a variant of Neo Sans, with some letters more minimalist and modern.

Rockwell is a thick serif font, which is a type of serif font. This type of font is far fewer than the others, including Courier, the typeface that came with the system. Rockwell’s bold font is strong enough for headlines.

You first noticed this font font because of its unusual name, so try it out every time you choose a font. Proxima has something particularly unique about it, modern but not icy. In particular, its representative lowercase “A” is very interesting. Proxima nova is also one of the fonts I use a lot.
