Creative Boom’s article by Tom May surveys the design community to identify 50 typefaces expected to trend in 2026. The roundup highlights a mix of contemporary and classic fonts from leading foundries such as Grilli Type, Klim, ABC Dinamo, and Pangram Pangram. It reflects a broader trend toward revisiting familiar grotesques and serifs with modern refinements for digital and branding applications.
The article is an in-depth interview with Sharp Type founders Lucas Sharp and Chantra Malee, exploring the foundry’s evolution following the sale of its catalogue to Monotype and the launch of its new phase, Volume Two. They discuss the challenges of sustaining innovation in type design, the lifecycle of a foundry, and balancing experimental creativity with functional design. The piece also reflects on their past successes, including Ogg and Sharp Grotesque, and their vision for the next chapter.
