10 Fonts You MUST USE As A Designer

- Today I have 10 fonts you MUST USE for your design projects, and then 9 fonts that you need to stay away from as a designer. Follow along and see how many of these must have fonts you have already, as a designer. Check out the best 10 fonts for graphic design in my opinion.
Good Fonts: 0:38
Bad Fonts: 4:34
Fonts and typography are essential parts of graphic design and design in general. Font or typography choices can make or break your designs, so it is crucial to use the right fonts, for the right design. I have selected 10 fonts that I feel you must be using in your designs, and then some fonts that can break your projects, simply by using them at all! Choosing fonts and having an eye for typography does take time to learn, but next week I am looking to make a video on how to choose fonts for your graphic designs, because I feel many people get this wrong and are confused by it. So let me know if you do want to see that on my channel!
If you found todays upload on fonts that you must be using as a designer enjoyable or useful, let me know in the comments section and drop a like on your way out. Subscribe to stay updated to all of my uploads and until next time, design your future today, peace

Comic Sans is perfect for sarcasm situations.
So it does have a purpose!
There's a new and better version of font family:comic called comic neue.
www.comicneue.com
@@SatoriGraphics comic sans is used in the greatest inspirational video ever, it's called "motivational lizard"
*Megalovania plays in the background*
I have a love-hate relationship with this font.
My CEO uses Comic Sans for his email - I am sure it is not by accident or done on a whim. It is especially funny because he is a powerful orator and has super communication skills.
All fonts are listed above in the description! Have a great day everyone 👌
Can you upload a zip file for all these fonts family?
Sorry I can't do that because some of them require a paid licence. Just google search every font and you should find download locations
I’m a graphic design student, I’ve been watching a lot of your videos recently and they teach me better than my teachers do
haha! I know the feeling, college didn't help me all that much either...
I hope you keep learning
same here
Yea college was pretty useless
Same here 😩
Same here😅
I'm a Graphic Design student in Argentina and you're saving my career with your tutorials, thank you!!!!!
Really glad to hear that bro!
I actually do like your choice of typefaces a lot, however I dislike the totalitarian character of the statements "must use" as well as "stay away from".
Form follows function - you do not pick a typeface to use in a design because it's pretty and fits the layout, but because it supports the goal and function of the layout, and you choose each time anew - and, in that regard, even Comic Sans can have its purpose. To generally rule out or count in a typeface one must or mustn't use is not good design.
As I said, I do love your choice of 'good' typefaces though, and I like how you introduce them and give additional infos as well
These sensationalist youtubers...
Well, he is just offering his opinion. It will be a challenge for designers to use bad typefaces and make it look good! Usually it is the context in which they are used.
*Alexandra* *Gregor*
It's called an "opinion". And condemning him as *"Totalitarian"* like it's a declaration, is about as dictatorial as it gets !!!
_(And you _*_truly_*_ _*_need_*_ a nose job! ...how about that!)_
Agree. The reasons why these fonts are "good" or "bad" are quite random and repetitive too.
I recall hearing "to avoid or use with care" being used to describe generally "bad" things. It makes no mistake in saying these are bad, but acknowledges the user's own judgement may differ for the particular situation.
Personally I don't believe there are any bad fonts by default. Depending on functionality, aesthetics, audience, medium, reason or intention e.t.c, every font fits a particular case. Some might fit well for a majority of daily purposes and some might not. In as much as there are standing rules for good prints, signage, screen e. t. c a good or bad font ends up been a function of purpose and choice. I like your choices though and
Thanks for introducing some new fonts I don't use but will definitely try. Cheers.
BARWA Peter While Papyrus exists, I’d have to disagree
I agree. Comic sans would look cool in a wacky artistic poster not taking itself seriously. I even stand with Curlz and Papyrus.
Except for comic sans and curlz, they are a failure, however check the new version of comic sans, comic neue, it looks less wonky
@@kamilaantezana6374 I've been in goth ands and there are some fonts that are naturally curly or curvy that are perfectly acceptable for band logos or album titles, etc. I think the one thing weighing Curlz down is how said curlz are implemented. They are very basic and boring and repetitive, and take no chances. Not very stylistic. Just like the same thing over and over and over. I do like some things that are based on hand done lettering from albums by the Cure, but they are of course based on hand-drawn lettering so they have more individuality by nature than these do.
MUST is a presumptuous personal opinion especially in design. jus sayin
Stephen Bloom That’s implicit in any discussion of design-that it’s subjective. Shouldn’t be necessary to state it. You’ve got to bring your own ‘processing’ when you take in ‘information.’

I have used comic sans for a logo design before and it seemed nice, I love this exposure to fonts to use and the ones not to use but I don't think comic sans should be among fonts not to use. Thanks Satori for all these beautiful lessons and exposures.
As always, great content yet again! Thank you for your videos. So helpful!!!
The relaxing music and your voice made my headache go away. Thanks. ❤
Haven't seen half of the "good" ones but I'm glad I've been introduced to them!
"neue" (German for "new") is pronounced as "noye", with a "y"-sound.
Neun
Like Manuel Neuer! =D
Pretty good list! As a graphic designer of 38 years, I've only ONCE found a use for Blackoak (some kitsch cowboy party night thing), but I've been using Rockwell, Sabon & Din since the 80's. Bebas Neue and Knockout were the only ones I wasn't familiar with, so thanks for that! I have no argument with your "bad" fonts but surely it wouldn't have been difficult to come up with a 10th. Brush Script, perhaps?
It was a matter of time, this video took me way too long to make believe it or not, and when I realised I only had 9 fonts, I didn't want to go back and re-edit in another one.
Thanks for the feedback though Derek
Great video and thanks for the history and revelation of some fonts.
Great wee selection there, another well informed vid.
Cheers
I love Aileron, thank you for introducing it to me.
I liked it when I saw it here. But it's not in my Microsoft Office on default =(
i love the font Century Gothic, but i love the 10 fonts u show in this video :DD
I love Century Gothic too; however, I really, really dislike the silly “question mark”! Otherwise, it’s great.
To give the bad typefaces some light, you did give some examples of good-usage
I was strapped for time, this video took around 2 days to make
Triple Condensed Gothic is actually an excellent typeface, that can serve many purposes when coupled with another typeface. Design is all about contrast, typography is no different.
Had almost forgotten about Sabon and Aleiron and how calm and useful they are. Thanks for reminding me.
No probs man, have a great weekend
I really like your choices. It would be great to have objective arguments for the 9 not to use. Thanks
Hey! Impact is my favorite. It's not bad when used correctly.
You must be a memer?
As I was a primary school student in the 1994-1999, I used impact for headings in all my assignments!
Amazing tutorials bro, I've checked out most of your videos and they are absolutely amazing and easy to understand. And with this video there is one thing I would really like to know, the whole 'negative' colours in the text(the blue and yellow) matching the yellow canvas, how did you manage to get that done, because I once tried it before and ended up with something else.
Solid video! I am bummed to see courier new on the bad listbut understand where you are coming from
I hsve been viewing all of yout videos since discovering your channel (love them, by the way). I agree with your selection. I am surprised, however, that Helvetica did not make your list of must haves. True, it may be overused but often with good reason, it just works. Aileron is also interesting. I never quite looked at it from your perspective. There are subtle likenesses from other fonts such as Raleway. The letter "L" for example has that same curvature at the bottom of the stroke but others resemble Helvetica. I'll see about using it in some of my designs.
Looks nice! Love your piece.
Helvetica didn't make the cut, but glad to see Futura still lives on. I used Courier New and Impact in the 90's. It was good for that time period. The kerning on "1451' though.
Right after watching this video, on the way going to work I counted at least 6 shops using comic sans font for their logo design :D Almost infuriating
haha that is hilarious! You have been made 'font aware'!
I don't understand why people go for Comic Sans, even people who are not designers.. it baffles me
Wow, that's terrible
@@SatoriGraphics i think its because its a standard Microsoft font that cones with the OS preinstalled, as a lot of these you mentioned, and the designers are either too lazy and or dont know where to get others. Microsoft have made terrible fonts.
Great video, thanks! Great fonts! Downloaded the good ones. The IPadOS still have the Bradley Hand, Courier New and Papyrus...the Comic-ish is called Chalkboard, probably changed names for keeping us using it looolz.
I really love the futura!
I always look forward to your content. Nice videos
That's awesome man, thanks a lot :)
Brilliant commentary and ideas! This really made my night.
hey thanks Emily, have a positive day
Bebas Neue and Brandon Grotesque are my absolute favs, and I'd add Roboto in as well because I absolutely love these three and probably overuse them.
Hell yeah I love those 3 fonts. They are always a must for me. I find myself accidentally coming back to them a lot everytime I design anything lol
I am creating logos for different companies and one of the most versatile fonts that I use is Maverix font.
very simple, proportional and timeless font.
Good call there with the font choices, thanks for the feedback :D
Thank you for the video, your each video is fantastic
5:20 peep red velvet lol
lol :P
Glad I stumbled upon your site! Nice tips and thanks, I subscribed.
Hey that's awesome. Welcome and I hope you enjoy my content from here on out
I almost cry when I see that Bad Boy Red Velvet using the bad font. Why I don't relize this whole time.
Hello Mr Satori, I love this post! One of y main Design professors also loved Sabon (when I think I need beauty I always fall back on it). I can't wait for the chance to use DIN 1451 I never thought about it in the way you demonstrated. **Btw, a new Improved *Helvetica Now* has been released, but I'm kinda burnt out on Helvetica. I try to use fonts I've never used before so I am ecstatic about Aileron, will use. (I've used to Agency cuz I don't see anybody else use it. Thank You
i usually go with brandon grotesque or cera compact. I still use courier and impact frequently.
thank you very much it was very helpful
some Fonts work good for web related design and some others good on print designs like - Poster or T-shirt. By the way thanks for the sharing !!
Thanks for this was waiting since yesterday
Yeah there were some suggestions on font choice, so I am happy the video was well received :)
Your font videos are awesome! I totally nicked your "subscribe" watermark btw. I used Arial bold, and it took me a while to get everything centered. Yours looks better though :-)
My list of best fonts are
1. Museo Sans
2. Open Sans
3. Clarika
4. Lato
5. Raleway
6. Roboto
7. Didot
8. Caviar Dreams
9. Adam Pro CG
10. Gotham Pro
11. Bebas Neue

Thank you
@@momarfaruque8002 Happy to help! 😄
@@rockcliff1930 😁
ITC Souvenir is a must have for me.
Thanks man
Thank you so much for this wonderful video , I really loved it. One of my favorite is 'BEBAS NEUE' it's professional and clean.
For sure, Bebas and Antonio are 2 of my favourite tall sans serif fonts. Enjoy your Sunday :)
@@SatoriGraphics Yes, thank you for your reply.Really Appriciated.Have a nice day...
i'd tell my supervisor not to use Impact anymore lol.
we often use Futura though and i'm gonna get those fonts you mentioned. thank you!
haha thanks for the comment, I'm always happy to hep Lara
thanks for type separately bad or good font in your description
I chose Bergell LET, but with a stylized dropped cap S for my band logo, and not 3 months later it seemed, it was in use at Target for signage. I was so pissed. Luckily they only used it for a few months and we outlived the signs haha.
Blackoak.. Very frustrating font..
You are absolutely correct.
It's crazy how it has become a font, it may even be someone trolling the design world
Love your tutorials ^_^
I do see you comment nearly every day, so I appreciate that and hope you keep learning here :)
Yay so glad I generally use the first 8 of the good fonts 🙃
That is a good sign for you lol, have a great weekend!
I really loved that Aileron Font😍😍. By the way I uses Bebas Neue and when it comes to bad I used to use Comic sans😅. Im gonna remove that now.
Really great video to get new fonts.. Thank you so much Satori Bro. ☺️👌🏻
Bebas, good.. Comic Sans, bad :P
Glad to see you found this one useful man, and have a tip top day!
my go-to font is Montserrat. Just all around great font
I design racing car skins in videogames, and Impact is really practical for that. It doesnt really look like the meme font to me without the white and black colour scheme
Agh! The font; Impact has been one of my favourites for years (used it about 5 times already this year) but from today I hate it! Thank you for another great video and for showing me things that I simply couldn't see before.
Class Graphics I think that Impact can still be useful. I love this channel, but sort of disagree that a font is “bad” because it totally depends on the application of the font-and that’s where you as the designer come in. I find it a pretty good option when I’m using for a more graphic application such as with a pattern fill or mask where I want the outline of the letters to be easily identifiable. I see what he means by the fact that the “bad” fonts might have connections to certain uses and/or been overused, but at the end of the day, fonts convey meaning and there might be appropriate times to keep using them :)
Yeah the font itself isn't actually that bad, it's quite a decent font in retrospect. It's just the label and 'image' that has been given to it in recent years. Many people will see a design with impact one, and in their minds subconsciously or not, they will have a different emotion or feeling given to them, simply because of stigma. Not everyone of course, just internet savvy people
lavieenlavande Now that I think about it, perhaps I was swayed a little too much by Tom's inclusion of it on his "bad" list and I agree that it is not so much the font itself but the application and environment in which it is used. Also, judging by Tom's follow-up comment, I think he has also slightly softened his position on it.
I think it's good to have these design discussions from time to time and I very much appreciate your comments!
Yes typography can be quite a polarising subject, and quite rightly so. I keep emphasising how it can make or break a design, so it is very much important.
The thing is, you need to consider your audience, and what the font and typeface says in a non verbal manner. I will be looking to go over this in more detail in a forthcoming video, on choosing fonts for your designs
Class Graphics cool! I’m glad Tom commented, too. I totally agree that audience and purpose play the biggest role in choosing typography. The font you choose has a huge impact (no pun intended) on the readability and how a piece feels. I think Tom had great choices for his top and bottom fonts in the list, but I just wanted to chime in that using a font isn’t bad if it’s the right one for the job so you shouldn’t feel bad about having used it in projects :)
Ok, among the good ones I knew only one of them 😅 Mayne that'll help not struggle as much as I did with choosing fonts.
In my opinion the goodness or badness of a font shows just in the way it is employed in a defined communicative situation. This implies that there actually might not be no such a thing as ”the good font“ or ”the bad font“ - but I’ve got to admit that there certainly are fonts which make it very hard to do some really good design with...
Thanks buddy
Good fonts
Rockwell-header
Akzidenz grotesk
DIN1451
Sabin-heading and main
Futura
Bebas neue
Knockout
Aileron
Lora -cursive serif
Brandon grotesque
Thanks bro
thanks for the nice video,
can you please make a video based on the best logo fonts?
1:44 ugh!!!! kerning
Do check Montserrat too. Great font.
All the 'bad' fonts could be classed as 'over used' fonts, they've just been so common over the years cause they're mostly all free on any word type software.
Your good fonts are amazing though! I love the Bauhaus style ones.
Thank you for this video, It’s very helpful. I just read the comments and may be can you let us know your 25 preferred fonts! I know how long time it’s take to make a video. Thanks again!
haha yeah this video took more than an actual day to make, so it would have taken me 3-4 days to make I think if I made it with 25!
help a lot. tnx
great to hear that Sharon, enjoy and have a good day
Personally, I like Courier New. But maybe that's only because I did some designs related to coding. I think it's just not that bad, although obviously there are nicer typewriter-style font alternatives.
lol I HATE coding so much, but the font for design purposes, is not liked that much in the community. But a lot of these choices are personal opinion of course
Now is courier prime
Thanks for sharing this video. I'd really appreciate if you name the font you'd be using to write "Satori graphics" in style at the start of your video?
Thanks!
thank you
Ah, I ready have all of these. Whew.
That's a good sign for sure Lauren
satori: use these fonts that aren't installed on your computer by default
me: let me select this font on my computer called cou-
satori: no that's bad
how about imp-
satori: no stay away from that
XD
In his defense several of these are free like beer, have to disagree with Impact though, pairs nicely with Mistral.
Raleway and american typewriter is nice
Im a bigfan of bebas neue font. To me the character is so strong in this one
Thanks 👍
Thanks a lot Adkinsy, and enjoy the start of your weekend
Futura My Fav❤
:D was just waiting for comic sans in the bad list
💙💙 nice video
much appreciated Mifta!
I like the Comic Sans and Courier New fonts.
thanks alooooooooooot
I would really recommend Product Sans to any designer.
Google's font?
Brandon Grotesque is such an amazing font. However, the lower case is hard to read when used as the font of a paragraph.
Yeah it can be tricky in that sense, that's for sure.
Ya, I was trying to use it for everything, and then realised the text was so hard to read because the lower cases have a really tiny bottom portion, they are good for decorative text, but not for reading
Thanks friend, greetings from Bogotá
Hey Julian, thanks for the feedback and have a great weekend in Bogotá
🙌🏻⚡️💪🏻💥👏🏻
Exo, Swiss, or Arial are good fonts for me.
I think Roboto is a good one too
Nice video ♥
Yeah that one is pretty solid. I would have liked to make a list of 25 fonts ideally, but had little time!
Satori Graphics make a part two! :D This topic is aways interesting
Your choice of good fonts are unique. Have you considered Avenir Next? FF tisa, Roboto, PT Sans, Skolar and Skolar sans? And there's a sans that is widely popular now I can't even remember it's name. Typewolf's #1 item on his chart.
Apercu (popular sans)
hahahaha! looking up the fonts on google as you introduce them here! :)
hope you find them all..
And also make sure to have a great day too!
My heart belongs to Future & Bebas Nue lately. Knockout I haven't worked with but I think a current project might be a fit. Thanks!
Curlz - #Dying reminds me of writing my name with the last name of my crush on my middle school notebook cover....over & over. Mrs. Tracy Pitt. LOL
Hi, I like your video and I am wondering what the template you used for creating the video cover? Do you mind to share? Thanks
Oh my goodness Curlz. 😂
Hi Satori
Are you aware of the 'Finalise' process on Recording CDs? A final stage application to seal the newly recoded data..
If so is there such a process on Ai...
Funny enough Monotype corsiva used to be one of my best fonts till I watched this video. How can I unsee this 😭
Ps: I loved how blunt you were with your font reviews. It really helped a lot.
Thanks
It might have a use lol.. but hey thanks for the comment Esther
Your choice of fonts is good but also very standard. And those absolute statements are just wrong. I love using Comic Sans just because everyone hates it. Even people with no design experience hate it because they are told to. The font is actually well made, it has a harmonic appearance in long texts and a good readability, and it works perfect in... comics.
Courier New is a beautiful font if used cleverly.
Why does everybody still choose Helvetica? It’s heavily overused and in most cases just a lazy choice.
I could go on. But my point is - there is no recipe for choosing a font. I’d almost like to say there are no bad fonts just bad typography.
My favorite font list is.
1. Helvetica
2. Gotham
3. Open sens
4. Lato
5. Calibri
6. Sabon
7. Futura
8. Aileron
9. Allura
And some time
10. Trajan Pro 😂😂.
I agree with you on Black Oak... yuck. But Courier New is fine.
Logical question, and I hope you reply. Can I use them commercially, for example in a logo gig at fiverr? If not, if I convert a font to outline before handing over the project, which means I won't give the font, will I still be in trouble? (I'm talking about fonts only, the logo itself, drawing, ideas, etc are all mine and original).
Great suggestions. I’m shocked you didn’t mention Gotham. It’s overused.
I have about half the knockout family. Anybody have the rest?
Sure, but still good. Especially if used in not-Americanadaustralinglandeustchland where it hasn't been used much. Heck, most people either use Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, or Comic Sans (except in countries where the Latin script isn't used. In which case custom fonts are usually used...
