Trendy fonts come and go, but some just stick around. Here are my top 5:

  1. General Sans
    Clean, confident, modern — perfect for tech, portfolios, and landing pages. It exudes “quiet authority.”

  2. Satoshi
    Sharp, neutral, highly versatile. I use it when I want the layout to stand out, not the font. Great for pricing tables.

  3. Recoleta
    Retro but not kitsch. Adds personality to headers without shouting. Pairs well with minimal body fonts.

  4. Clash Display
    For bold headlines that demand attention. Quirky but balanced — use with care.

  5. Inter (tweaked)
    It’s basic, but tweak the spacing and soften the weight, and it works everywhere.

My rule:
No font makes it past three projects by accident. If I keep coming back to it — it’s doing something right.
