Soft sans serifs feel more approachable than strictly geometric sans serifs, and in 2023 we’ll see more brands seeking a friendly and tactile style in their logos and designs. Khorla balances softness with geometric impact, and looks fantastic set as headline typography.
3. Gultic Font Envato Elements
Typefaces that blend Seventies curves with Art Nouveau fluidity will be big news in 2023. Gultic Font combines eye-catching vintage and retro elements with a clean sans serif display style, striking the perfect balance between old and new.

With Seventies editorial typefaces set to be a big trend in 2023, elegant and refined Distingué is sure to bring refinement to your magazine and website designs. A typeface that wouldn’t look out of place on the credits of The Godfather, these retro fonts bring old-world, luxurious charm to any design.
5. Stima Envato Elements
Scripts will go stripped-back and simple in 2023, losing any excess fuss and flourishes. Stima is a minimal script font with a super-stylish mood; use for giving sartorial flair to signatures, logos or quotes.

Chiselled sans serifs with a characterful aspect will lean into 2023’s playful type trend. Perfect for bringing subtle quirk to otherwise serious designs, use a typeface like Milky Rumble to give a typographic twist to editorial designs, branding and social media designs.
7. Myflora Envato Elements
Hook your serifs this year for ultimate elegance! The ligatures of these serif fonts feature looping ‘hooks’ to help you join letters together seamlessly, creating an overall fluid and languid appearance. Myflora is particularly fluid and classic, with a tall x-height that gives it lofty elegance.
8. Fatlip Envato Elements
Chunky, squishy and slightly slanted, Fatlip is a great example of the friendly-retro font styles that are set to be popular across branding and websites in 2023. Characterful and handwritten without compromising on legibility, these fat display fonts are irresistibly huggable!
9. Engeraly Envato Elements
With serif typefaces having dominated graphic design for the last couple of years, we’ll start to see a gradual move towards serifs that feel cleaner and more minimalist in mood. Engeraly is a good example of this middle ground between serifs and sans serifs, as well as having a calligraphy style that will make your typography feel effortless and luxurious.
10. Rustea Envato Elements
Retro and simple, typefaces like Rustea give a nostalgic nod to earlier decades—a major font trend for 2023—while maintaining crisp lines and excellent readability. Pair these simple retro fonts with strong colours and photography for a bold, impactful look.
