Who else is tired of the ubiquity of geometric sans serifs?

Count me in.

I don't really mind this much, somehow.

I can only take so many wannabe Avant Gardes.

I am tired of humanist sans serifs

They're flagging, which is bad news for those of us who want it to be 2002 again

Anonus · 2015-12-04 00:35:52

(Do I really? Hard to know!)

But yeah, a lot of the Not Gothams popping up everywhere are too doctrinaire for me. They look good in isolation, but in practice, not so much.

I prefer the Futura-style geometrics, or the ITC Anna style geometrics to the Not-Gothams.

But really, I'm actually very boring and love Helvetica

I'd like to see Twentieth Century get oversaturated again.

but geometric sans serifs are the best sans serifs

I can understand not wanting to see Gotham anymore because of how ubiquitous it is (and frankly, I can't deny that it gets a bit tired), but a lot of my particular favorites are in similar styles

Humanist type can be hit-or-miss for me; generally I feel like it may work a little better in copy than as headline text, though there are exceptions (the grotesque-inspired Adelle comes to mind).

^^I want to see more Gotham than Not-Gothams.
