MyFonts: Bestsellers for February 2012
The fifty best-selling typefaces at MyFonts, as reported by them on February 1, 2012. The strong grotesque and sans families are selling very very well. The geometric sans category is quite popular---Proxima Nova (Mark Simonson) is first, followed by Brandon Grotesque (HVD), while strong contenders Museo Sans (Jos Buivenga, 5th), Akzidenz Grotesk BE (7th), Code Pro (Svetoslav Simov, 22nd), Futura (30th), Akzidenz Grotesk BQ (34rd), Futura PT (37th), and Museo Sans Rounded (48th) are hot on their heels. The scripts are still quite present (11 out of 50) but are in a slight decline in overall ranking---in this category, Carolyna Pro (Emily Lime) has taken over the lead (in fourth overall). In the text typeface category, Cassia (Dieter Hofrichter) went up the charts from #39 to #11. Fancy didone-inspired fashion mag typefaces continue unabated, with Reina (Lian Types, 10th), Hera Big (Lucas Sharp, 24th), Narziss (Hubert Jocham, 35th), and Guadalupe (Latinotype, 47th). Personally, I like relative newcomers Brix Slab (HVD, 20th), and Sanchez (Latinotype, 23rd), which are both spunky slab serif families with 12 styles each. But it is amazing that over half of the entries are old-timers. |
