"AI will help mainstream type," says Monotype's Typography Trends report

Monotype's annual Type Trends report is here, and as usual, it's packed full of inspiration and insight. This year's report focuses on how creatives are using design to inform, provoke, catalyse and create hope for us in times of crisis and change. It's divided into sections like 'freedom, law & order', 'life cycle', which addresses the "generational continuum" and 'hot & wet', which focuses on type and the environment.

The intro claims the report differs from others in that it doesn't look back at trends past, instead, it aims to be a "typographic oracle", which is a lovely turn of phrase. That doesn't mean it's forgotten the past entirely though, and the sections are full of glimpses of type past and present, as well as making predictions about the future. It's a more meaty type of typography trends report than others we've seen so far this year.
