Minimalist poster font-what font is usually used for posters,

What are the characteristics of movie poster fonts? Create your font classification binder.

In my font library, a * * has 1602 fonts. However, I never remember names and looks. I only know that when I start a design task, it is enough to use "serif"+"slim", "bold"+"sans serif".

Just like the screenshot, my fonts are classified.

According to the usage scenarios, the key points are serif, sans serif, singularity, interest, future and handwriting.

Font and situational personality

In QQ group, people often ask, what font is this picture?

In fact, it doesn't matter what font, you take a fancy to his unique "personality".

serif

In terms of character, serif is an elegant and dignified English lady.

From its tail decoration to smooth lines, it is constantly revealed that it is like an old whisky.

So the serif is very suitable for classical, elegant, feminine and retro scenes.

Elegance cannot be changed whether it is bold or thin.

Sans serif typeface

Sans serif font is a modern font.

This is very important, because the most important difference between sans-serif and serif is whether there is decorative thread or not.

The greatest masterpiece of sans serif is Helvetica. Basically, it seems that you can see this font everywhere.

I think sans serif represents modern, future and simple Nordic style. Especially suitable for minimalist style.

strange

Maybe you will wonder why there is a "strange" category in my classification here.

Under my strangeness, it actually represents the feeling of horror and horror similar to horror movies.

interest

My definition of fun here is that it may be characterized by special forests, fire fighting and children's breath.

I used a picture just now and changed a font, and the feeling changed immediately.

write

I believe this needs no explanation. It just looks like handwriting.

Generally speaking, the handwritten scene is a general letter, a sense of intimacy or authority, or a child's feeling. According to different handwriting, there are different effects.

aequilatus

I almost forgot to introduce this equal-width font. Equal width fonts have a strange name, that is, equal width.

Mainly used in the code editor.

Equal width fonts pay more attention to their functionality when they are created.

How to choose the font for posters? introduce

If the picture is the skeleton of the poster, then the font is the blood of the poster. For a poster work, it is very important to choose what font.

For many artists who are just getting started, it is a headache to choose what font. Today, the seniors made a special trip to choose fonts for everyone.

What font do you choose?

1. Rough and fine

Thick strokes are thick, thick and powerful; The details of strokes are fine, light and delicate, which is the most direct and simple impression.

A thick stroke font will visually form a high-density text block. Because the strokes are bold, the negative space of the font will be reduced, and the visual area will be aggravated, resulting in a sense of depression, which in turn will make the text form the visual center of gravity and produce emphasis.

Therefore, bold characters are often used in titles and slogans, which occupy a conspicuous position and produce an emphasis.

Fine-stroke fonts are getting lighter and lighter in the visual area. After reducing the visual area, the negative space of strokes increases, the structure appears sparse and scattered, and the smaller visual components will not make readers feel oppressive.

2. Curves and straight lines

The straight stroke direction of the font gives the font strength or elasticity.

Straight lines represent strength, determination, courage, openness, simplicity and boldness, but they may also mean rigidity and paranoia.

The straight line endows the font with masculine temperament, and the curve represents the feminine side, which is inclusive and smooth.

straight

The example in the figure below shows that thick strokes and sharp lines make the font have an unquestionable fortitude. Without curves, there is no room for manoeuvre.

bend

Most fonts are not composed of simple straight lines or simple curves. They are straight and curved. Only when there are curves and straightness can we be both rigid and flexible, powerful and elastic.

For example, the beginning and turning point of the regular script in the Northern Wei Dynasty is like cutting gold and breaking jade, which is neat and neat. The whole font looks tall and straight, vigorous and heroic, with beautiful curves on the left and right, more rounded and more elegant.

3. Loose and rigorous

Writing in daily life is relaxed and lively, with a kind of unrestrained beauty. And the books in the temple, cast in Zhong Ding, or written in Fu Zi, are handed down to later generations, which has a kind of rigorous and dignified beauty. The essential difference is that the structure is loose and rigorous.

Naive and lively is the nature of teenagers, children's world is not bound by too many rules, and children's fonts are also immature and lively. Therefore, loosely structured handwriting is often used in children's themes or relaxed and humorous reading environment.

4. Simple and complex

The simplicity and complexity mentioned here are not simplicity and tradition, but the complexity of stroke details. For the simplest example, the details of serif are relatively more complicated than those of non-serif, and the song style is also more complicated than that of boldface.

The complexity and simplicity of fonts also represent the trend of classical and modern to a certain extent.
