Written By Dmitrii Mashkin

Graphic design is a constantly evolving field, with new trends and styles emerging all the time. Keeping up with the latest trends can be challenging, but it's essential for graphic designers who want to stay ahead of the game. In this article, we will explore some of the current trends in graphic design and discuss how graphic designers can stay up-to-date with the latest developments.

Minimalism and Simplicity

One of the current trends in graphic design is minimalism and simplicity. This trend is characterized by the use of clean lines, simple shapes, and a limited color palette. The goal is to create designs that are easy to read and understand, without any unnecessary elements. This trend is particularly popular in web and mobile app design, where it helps to create a clear and user-friendly interface.

Hand-drawn Elements

Another trend that's gaining popularity is the use of hand-drawn elements in graphic design. This trend is characterized by the use of illustrations, typography, and other elements that have a hand-drawn or hand-crafted look. This trend can be used to create designs that are unique, personal, and stand out from the crowd.

3D and Virtual Reality

3D and virtual reality are two other trends in graphic design that are gaining popularity. These trends are characterized by the use of three-dimensional elements and immersive experiences. Graphic designers can use 3D and virtual reality to create designs that are more engaging and dynamic, particularly in the field of advertising, product visualization and architectural designs.

By staying up-to-date with the latest developments and incorporating these trends into their work, graphic designers can create designs that are fresh, engaging, and on-trend.

Copy Dept. — Vintage Typewriter Slab Serif, 7 Styles
Copy Dept. — Vintage Typewriter Slab Serif, 7 Styles
$29.00

Some fonts pretend to be clean. Copy Dept. does the opposite.

It's drawn from how text looked before laser printers — the strike of a typebar on a ribbon, uneven pressure, edges that bleed, letters that hit harder than their neighbours. An archive folder, a memo, the third carbon copy that's barely legible and all the more convincing for it.

Works for:

indie publishing, zines and poetry covers · identity for cafés, bars, barbershops and vintage retail · album art, merch and gig posters · titles for documentary and arthouse film · social posts that need a found document, not another geometric sans

Doesn't work for:

UI, long-form screen reading, corporate decks. This is a display face — it needs size for the texture to read.

  • Includes: 7 styles, 292 glyphs each, OTF + WOFF2

  • Language support: Latin / Cyrillic
