The battle of the grotesks and the sansculottes continues atop the charts, and across the board, with Proxima Nova heading the lot. Helvetica sneaks in there with two entries, Helvetica Neue and Swiss 721. The controversial Thirsty Script (Yellow Design Studio) is the first of the signage scripts (the fact that I prefer Slim Tony and Gelato Script further on in the rankings does not matter), while Emily Lime continues to wow with Bombshell Pro (which reminds me of Madonna's Erotica CD cover) and Carolyna. A surprise is the shaded caps typeface Frontage by Juri Zaech in #25. Serif text typefaces are now entirely absent, with customers more enticed by various styles of slab typefaces.
