Modern Fonts
Modern fonts are recognizable by their thin, long horizontal serifs, and clear-cut thick/thin transitions in the strokes. Most people think modern fonts are today’s newest fonts. But according to typographers, they’re a font classification from the 1800s with vertical lettering, thin horizontal serifs, and contrasting strokes. Designers take pride in bending the rules of typography by adding a contemporary flair to classic fonts. In 2021, modern fonts are usually sans serif and can have geometric, futuristic, abstract, or urban font styles.
