Sign in freeCreative Boom’s article by Tom May surveys the design community to identify 50 typefaces expected to trend in 2026. The roundup highlights a mix of contemporary and classic fonts from leading foundries such as Grilli Type, Klim, ABC Dinamo, and Pangram Pangram. It reflects a broader trend toward revisiting familiar grotesques and serifs with modern refinements for digital and branding applications.
Vancouver-based studio ZAK created a brand identity for Canadian aerospace startup Ronan Space Systems that draws inspiration from ancient petroglyphs to bridge humanity’s past and future. The identity combines organic, imperfect forms with brutalist typography and weathered tones to challenge the sterile aesthetics typical of the space industry. The result is a flexible, human-centered system that reflects Ronan’s mission to build a lasting legacy beyond Earth.
Rabbithole, a Leeds and Glasgow-based design studio, has rebranded Hyde Park Picture House, the world’s only gaslit cinema. The new identity features a dynamic lozenge motif inspired by film projection cues, a vibrant technicolour palette, and a diverse typographic system using nine typefaces to represent different cinematic strands. The rebrand captures the cinema’s heritage and the vibrancy of film culture.
