MyFonts: Bestsellers for May 2012
The fifty best-selling typefaces at MyFonts, as reported by them on May 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 second, followed by Brandon Grotesque (HVD) in third, with others such as Intro (Fontfabric), Futura, Interstate (1993, Tobias Frere-Jones), Museo Sans and Sofia Pro (Mostar Design) all taking positions in the top ten. The scripts are a bit down in ranking and total number (8 out of 50, down from 9 last month and 11 two months ago)---in this category, we find newcomer Peoni Pro (Emily Lime) at the top of the heap (in eighth), followed by Carolyna Pro (Emily Lime), Storefront Pro (Sudtipos), Carolyna (Emily Lime), Belluccia (Correpondence Ink), Gelato Script (Schizotype), Parfumerie Script Pro (Typesenses), and Burgues Script (Sudtipos). In the text typeface category, we now have zero (nil, null, none) typefaces. How sad. The presence of Yellow Design Studio's grungy wood style typefaces Veneer (in first) and Anodyne (in 39th) is still due to continued aggressive pricing. Personal favorites hitting the top fifty this month include the good old Corporate S (URW++) and Canada Type's Gibson. |
