We talk a lot about universal \u00abworkhorses\u00bb. These are the popular fonts, their character is often neutral, and the character set is extensive. One such font, such as TT Norms\u00ae Pro<\/a>, can be used in thousands of projects with different themes and look unique in each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal fonts are in high demand. But what to use to make an emphasis on something? You can also use \u00abworkhorses\u00bb, but when you need to convey a strong emotion, it is better to look for an option with a more expressive character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we will talk about these options: graceful and daring, friendly and brutal, dynamic and stable. These are display<\/a> fonts. They are different in character and expressiveness, but always attract attention when used properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kinds of display fonts there are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There can not be too many decorative fonts. An experienced designer\u2019s collection may contain over 400 such typefaces, and this is far from the limit. The need to actively expand the collection of display<\/a> fonts is due to the fact that they need to be selected more carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decorative font should fit the project flawlessly, because it is in the headings, logo and other large inscriptions that the emotional messages that the audience will perceive are embedded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are fonts that attract attention. Even a novice designer understands that a large array of text and a title should not be set in the same font and size. Emphases and highlights are important in the text. The interest of the reader depends on how the designer arranges them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The task of a typeface for setting is not to distract attention from reading, and that of a display font is to attract it. In order for the viewer to reach the body of text, the headline and other accents must hold attention and spur a desire to read the article, open the book, or take another action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorative fonts are a broad group that includes many styles and types. You can easily distinguish them from other fonts, because they make you look at them, especially when the text is set in large size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will talk about three categories of fonts: display, headline, and decorative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Display fonts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This article was inspired by TT Cometus<\/a>, which we released in January 2023. This is a stylish and expressive font with a memorable character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TT Cometus is the perfect example of a display or, to use a different name, a decorative font. It is difficult to imagine it being used in a text array, but it looks harmonious in headings and large inscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Display fonts<\/a> are a broad category. It includes all fonts that are designed to make an emphasis and are not used in text typesetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These may be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
