Triumph of the Sans Serif

Looking over the top 50 best sellers at Myfonts.com earlier this week, I was impressed at how many were sans serif.  The exceptions were #4, a Japanese typeface, #23, the only serifed font on the list, and six script fonts at #s 28, 29, 33, 38, 41, and 44. (If you check the rankings, they will undoubtedly be different because they change day to day.)

My selection of san serif fonts is shown here, though some of my decorative fonts are also sans serif (see here). None of them are even in the top 5000 of fonts at myfonts.com. (I am not sure how many fonts myfonts has--it keeps increasing and must be at least 40,000.)

One san-serif font is so popular that it starred in a movie. You can see it on youtube here.

A couple of CDs with fonts from IngrimayneType

I have had these CDs for a while but I do not think I posted about them. The first is Woven Cord by Iona. The font used is Unikled.



The second is from a CD titled Cameo: Emotional Violence. The font RedLetter is used to list the songs.
