MyFonts: Bestsellers for April 2012 The fifty best-selling typefaces at MyFonts, as reported by them on April 1, 2012. The strong grotesque and sans families are still selling 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, third), PF Din Text Pro (fourth), Interstate (1993, Tobias Frere-Jones) (7th), Benton Sans (8th), Akzidenz Grotesk BQ (9th and 30th), Swiss 721 (11th), News Gothic (12th), Futura (134th), Nimbus Sans Novus (21st), Geogrotesque (25th), Myriad Pro (27th), Centrale Sans (33rd), Houschka Pro (39th), Code Pro (41st), Alright Sans (42nd), Zurich (43rd) and Museo Sans Rounded (49th), close out the sans typefaces in the top 50. There are some semi-sans or organic typefaces in the top 50 as well. The scripts are a bit down in ranking and total number (9 out of 50, down from 11 last month)---in this category, Carolyna Pro (Emily Lime) remains in the lead (in fifth overall), while its forerunner, Carolyna, is 24th. Mia Mano by Kate Brankin makes a surprise 40th place appearance. In the text typeface category, only Mrs Eaves (in 48th) and a few slab typefaces are left. Fancy didone-inspired fashion mag typefaces continue unabated, with Reina (Lian Types, 44th), Hera Big (Lucas Sharp, 26th), and Narziss (19th). The grungy Anodyne of Yellow Design Studio is at 16, but the almost identical Veneer is lurking at 17, thanks to a big 90% reduced sale price during the month of March. Another irregular face, Monstro, appears in the charts at 32.	EXTERNAL LINKS MyFonts search Monotype search Fontspring search Google search INTERNAL LINKS MyFonts Pages ⦿
