09 Fonts That We Love

‘Parampara’ Fonts at AGENCY09

Ask a designer their favorite font and they’ll write you a book on it. Just how every designer has their own designing methods and artistic quirk – everyone has their own favorite fonts and their applications too.

When a design team works with each other for too long (our core design team at AGENCY09 has been together for 4+ years), you tend to exchange a lot of ideas and knowledge. This also includes our individual yet mutual love for certain fonts. Over the passage of time, we’ve had multiple debates over who’s favorite font is the most quirky, or the most universal or the most outright weird one. However, certain fonts hold a special place in our hearts. Ones that the entire design team unanimously agrees upon, ones that are applicable to clients across industries. These fonts transcend internal debates and bring us together as a design powerhouse.

Here’s a collection of 9 Fonts that we absolutely adore:

1. Din Font Family:
   Ask any designer or someone from associated departments what our most used font is – you’re going to get a collective answer: The Din Font Family. An expansive font family of various styles; this font is as versatile as it comes. A sans serif font meant initially made for technical applications, the super uncomplicated and easy-going vibe of the font has made it a favorite across our design verticals.

2. Proxima Nova:
   Though its regular use in the digital universe over the past few years may sometimes make it feel a bit overused, we never seem to get sick of Proxima Nova. With a geometric set up alongside a modern look & feel, Proxima Nova hits home with a lot of clear and stark designs that rely on clarity of text despite its placement.

6. Montserrat
   Inspired by the neighbourhood of Montserrat in Buenos Aires, the font is a beautiful urban typeface that transports one to the vibe of Buenos Aires itself.

These are some abstract emotions we love including in our designs at AGENCY09.

7. Helvetica Light
   Okay we get it. Everyone’s sick of Helvetica. It’s everywhere. But there’s an undeniable beauty to the general applications of the font and its varied use across the globe since decades. Our favorite variant at A09, is the light variant. This version gives a calm, cool & no-nonsense vibe to any text you throw its way. Most modern designers may cringe at the thought of using the font but it still remains every designer’s secret weapon when they hit a creative block.
