Such an important topic. Current favorite: DIN Appreciate all the motion graphics and editing effort that you've been investing here...phenomenal work my friend. Thank you taking the time + care to put this together. Cheers...
DIN Pro right? there is alte DIN (public domain from what I gathered) but I can't find a complete family A friend is using Simplon for his practice - in similar vein when using capital letters only, but cheaper.
Wow! Apart from the great typography recommendations which would surely come in handy in the future, the editing on this video is exquisite. I felt like I was watching a Vox documentary.
Not only is this guy great but also explains humbly everything..like a suggestion and not lecturing us by looking down at us which so many RU-vidrs who teach design and ux do. It is so refreshing to watch this video ..i just liked and subscribed even though I'm not architect..i was just looking for fonts for my visiting card
In this day and age that we are living where everything needs to be presented to be shown from our computer screens, its important to design presentations as an extra add on to your work where a lot of times makes your work speak for itself when you presented well. Fonts are extremelly important when composing a presentation and it needs to be well thought out as if its part of your project. When all combined it presents a more pleasant experience and a better opinion from the audience about your artistic taste. Great video steven! You know you did a great job again !
Yes! And a font is an instance of a typeface in a specific size, weight, and style (e.g., Helvetica 12pt bold roman). It's become colloquial to use the word font incorrectly to mean typeface, but I've never heard the word typography used incorrectly in this way. There's obviously a lot of work in this video and there's no reason why someone who isn't a designer needs to become an expert in typography. It's great to hear non-typographers thinking about the impact of type.
Ah! Glad someone also resonates with the same. It's also interesting to note that typefaces like Roboto and Poppins are connected with architecture as opposed to being exclusively made for digital design.
I love that you spoke about introducing our personality/identity in typography. Haven't really thought about it this deeply before. Oddly, I found myself going back to Times New Roman for small, descriptive text. It gives some real warmth. Wouldn't think that would be me a few years back, when I exclusively was looking for sans serif fonts. Also, I need to get on that Patreon asap, the amount of value you provide on a regular basis is unreal! Thank you ❤️
Thanks Adrianna! totally right, i think we also identify with one more than the other...serif rather than sans...etc. But choosing fonts shows a lot about a person
In Spain in the last years architects very commonly use CENTURY GOTHIC, for all the written documents of the projects, but not for the text in the drawings, as it is a very rounded type, very easy and comfortable to read, and as it’s a sans serif font it also helps with “easy reading” (I don’t know if it’s the same term in English for “lectura fácil”) which stands for texts written for people with disabilities to comprehend better, not only from the visual point of view, but also in the content of the text, using common words and concepts so the text is easier to understand avoiding the abuse of technical language when possible.
I'm an interior designer self-learning some graphic design and putting together my marketing package. Greatly appreciate the detailed breakdown of each font. I also had to rewind that poppin part a couple of times, you cracked me up. Thanks!
I am always spending too much time on choosing a font, trying to find a balance for the project and accessibility/easily readable. I’ve used all but a couple of the ones you mentioned, but I think my default for large amounts of text is Gil Sans. Thanks for the video, helpful info. I think I will try Montserrat on a project I am working on because the description you gave reminds me of the ideal outcome of my project. Also, nice to see that your patreons are worldwide, thats such a great thing about architecture, the language is almost universal.
Your animations and way of editing remind me of vox type of videos, the diference is that vox has way more people and resources, and you are just one person, which is impressive, keep up the good work man!! 😊
I use Tw cen (Twentieth Century) for school. It looks similar to futura, I actually just googled it and found out it was designed to compete against futura
very useful video. often during experiments, I can't find the fonts for the final composition of the project, since I am tied to a small group of fonts that I use in my main projects. thanks a lot, this guide can be used in any situation
I remember when I was a young architect and thought the artistry of my drawings was the end product, now I use simplex for notes and Arial for titles and focus on communicating my idea for the end product, actually gets constructed
I started watching your videos when i was still a young student and they’re still my favorites !! Tanks for such an interesting content ! I loved learning about fonts, makes me want to explore more... LOL at the ending of the video
@@ShowItBetter your correct. As a graphic designer in real-estate field, we use Lato and source sans pro a lot 👍. As you said Playfair used for titles only 😉. Recently "Colliers international" changed their official typeface to source sans pro.
Genial !!! Es un excelente video !!! Definitvamente el tipo de fuente es una parte importante en nuestro trabajo. Presenta nuestra personalidad y nuestro estilo. Nos ayuda a dar un representacion grafica fuerte y confiable.
"Typographies..." -- You're confusing typography with typeface (font). Typography is the art/craft of choosing typefaces (fonts) and setting them with the right attributes for the best effect. A font or typeface is a family or face in a particular design style. Times, Helvetica, Courier, and so on are typefaces or fonts, not "typographies." -- You have the right idea of how fonts are used, but the wrong word for it. Typography is like architecture. A font or typeface is like a given style of architecture.
