Choosing the right font is one of the most important parts of your design. At Static-Design we have put together a top five fonts list based on our previous projects. These are clean and professional fonts that we will guarantee useful in your next design project.
Myriad Pro
Myriad Pro’s clean open shapes, precise letter fit, and extensive kerning pairs make this unified family of roman and italic an excellent choice for text typography that is comfortable to read, while the wide variety of weights and widths in the family provide a generous creative palette for even the most demanding display typography.
Designers: Robert Slimbach, Carol Twombly, Fred Brady, Christopher Slye
Priced at ~ $29, Myriad Pro is definitely worth the purchase.

ITC Franklin Gothic
This typeface is a standard choice for use in newspapers and advertising. In 1991, David Berlow completed the family for ITC by creating compressed and condensed weights. ITC Franklin Gothic Compressed is designed especially to solve impossibly tight copyfitting problems, while maintaining high legibility standards. ITC Franklin Condensed provides medium weights of narrow proportions.
Designers: Morris Fuller Benton, Victor Caruso
Priced at ~ $29, Franklin Gothic is definitely worth the purchase also.

Avant Garde Gothic
Letterforms built of circles and clean lines are highly effective for headlines and short texts. The condensed faces have the same modern look, while retaining legibility in lengthier texts.
Designers: Edward Benguiat

ITC Bauhaus
Herbert Bayer of the Bauhaus School in Dessau, Germany, designed the inspiration for ITC Bauhaus, known as the Universal typeface, while he was teaching there in 1925. Ed Benguiat and Vic Caruso redrew the typeface in 1975. ITC Bauhaus is a rounded sans serif design whose forms were developed from the straight edge and compass. ITC Bauhaus can be used in period pieces reminiscent of the 1920s and the Art Deco era; its simple, clean lines and not-quite-closed counterforms make it noticeable in display settings.

Neo Sans
Neo Sans is most notable as the official typeface of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The design concept called for a versatile, futuristic typeface that didn’t look “crude, gimmicky or ephemeral”. The font was released with a companion typeface called Neo Tech. Facebook uses a similar font called “Klavika Bold”.
Designers: Sebastian Lester
