“Type is saying things to us all the time.”
The opening of Monotype’s 2024 Type Trends report starts with this line from Gary Hustwit’s 2007 typography documentary, Helvetica. Design trends are naturally influenced by the world we live in: current events and pop culture, technology and media, scientific discoveries, and the arts. Based on what we witnessed and experienced last year, the report explores what we are saying about our modern world—and how we choose to say it.
