Typography – the age old conundrum so many of us face when looking to define our branding, create beautiful assets, and make a visual impact. Monotype recently released their 2025 Re:Vision Report, an exploration into the future of typography. Considering elements such as sound, cultural conditioning, and innovation this report dives into the nitty gritty of what makes a type trend and why these become popularized. Our designers have taken their own inspiration from Re:Vision, showing you exactly how you can apply some of these predictions and suggestions into your own content. No matter if you’re looking for some ideas for promotional assets, or you’re trying to define the future aesthetic of your eMagazine, there’s something for everyone.
Sound and Vision
Typography allows you to express sound through visuals. Think about what you’re looking to convey, and the tone you’re looking to communicate. This type should make you feel something. Choose to go bold to convey shouting, opt for something sophisticated to replicate a whisper, or play on nostalgia to show a friendly conversation. In this vase, we’ve gone for the Souveir typeface for a welcoming appeal.
Human types
With this style of typography, you have an opportunity to adopt a futuristic feel. The mechanical, or computer-made, appearance of this type brings us into this new age of AI. To take things one step further, you could even choose an AI Text Style on Picsart that fits this theme. Here, we’ve used Din Pro to capture the essence of technology.
Freedom, law and order
We’ve had some fun with this theme, drawing upon both legal and real life cookies. Whether as an annoyance while you’re browsing online, or a treat to look forward to at the end of a long day, cookies are a constant in our lives. Here we’ve placed an image of delicious stacked cookies, with a contrasting serious typeface, ITC Blair.
Life cycle
As time rolls on, it’s no secret that our senses start to change slightly. With this image, our designer has played with the concept of an eye examination board. This highlights the need for businesses to consider legibility for all ages and abilities. The bold typeface used to portray this message is Futura Now.
Conflict and peace
This style is all about contrast: finding harmony in balance. Strong text can be used to draw attention to a message, perfect for a CTA. Here, lines, shapes, colors, and typography, each with their own significant visual impact, have been applied against each other. However, when paired, the visual elements work well together, creating peace from conflict. The text is striking and clear, while the rounded edges create a welcoming look. The typeface used here is ITCAvantGarde.
Hot and wet
Think of tropical rain forests, nature in the summer, and high humidity. To mimic these environments, note the varied use of greens. Focusing on earthy tones, this image encapsulates natural beauty, showcasing how this may be translated into typeface choices. Here, the typeface AshleyScript is used.
Typography can be used as a powerful tool that can evoke emotions, convey messages, and define the identity of your brand. Monotype’s 2025 Re:Vision Report has given a glimpse into the future, and is sure to serve as inspiration for a new generation of designers, eager to experiment with type in innovative ways. Typography offers endless possibilities for creative expression. Embrace these predictions and adapt them to your content and branding as needed. Let your typography tell a story of its own.
