03. Helvetica

When it comes to sans-serif fonts, Helvetica is one of the most used fonts. Professionals are especially keen on this font for one particular reason: The letters are very tightly grouped but at the same time very readable.

But be very careful, this typeface can’t be used ubiquitously as it can deliver the wrong message.

04. Futura

Futura is all about shapes: Circles, squares and triangles. This is a great advantage when using a symbol to your logo as the symbol can resonate in the lettering of the company name.
