    Typography isn’t just about pretty letters, it’s the heartbeat of visual communication<b style=”background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>. In 2024, designers are pushing boundaries, breaking molds, and creating typefaces that resonate with emotions, brand identities and user experience.

    Buckle up, we’re diving into the trends that matter:

    3. Serifs Speak Up: Expressive Serif Typefaces

    Serifs aren’t staying quiet anymore. They’re trader their monocies for megaphones.

    • Friendly Serifs: Warm, approachable, and ready for a chat. These serifs day, “Hey, let’s have coffee and discuss kerning.”
