Such an important topic. Current favorite: DIN Appreciate all the motion graphics and editing effort that you've been investing here...phenomenal work my friend. Thank you taking the time + care to put this together. Cheers...
DIN Pro right? there is alte DIN (public domain from what I gathered) but I can't find a complete family A friend is using Simplon for his practice - in similar vein when using capital letters only, but cheaper.
Wow! Apart from the great typography recommendations which would surely come in handy in the future, the editing on this video is exquisite. I felt like I was watching a Vox documentary.
"Typographies..." -- You're confusing typography with typeface (font). Typography is the art/craft of choosing typefaces (fonts) and setting them with the right attributes for the best effect. A font or typeface is a family or face in a particular design style. Times, Helvetica, Courier, and so on are typefaces or fonts, not "typographies." -- You have the right idea of how fonts are used, but the wrong word for it. Typography is like architecture. A font or typeface is like a given style of architecture.
Yes! And a font is an instance of a typeface in a specific size, weight, and style (e.g., Helvetica 12pt bold roman). It's become colloquial to use the word font incorrectly to mean typeface, but I've never heard the word typography used incorrectly in this way. There's obviously a lot of work in this video and there's no reason why someone who isn't a designer needs to become an expert in typography. It's great to hear non-typographers thinking about the impact of type.
Ah! Glad someone also resonates with the same. It's also interesting to note that typefaces like Roboto and Poppins are connected with architecture as opposed to being exclusively made for digital design.
In Spain in the last years architects very commonly use CENTURY GOTHIC, for all the written documents of the projects, but not for the text in the drawings, as it is a very rounded type, very easy and comfortable to read, and as it’s a sans serif font it also helps with “easy reading” (I don’t know if it’s the same term in English for “lectura fácil”) which stands for texts written for people with disabilities to comprehend better, not only from the visual point of view, but also in the content of the text, using common words and concepts so the text is easier to understand avoiding the abuse of technical language when possible.
@@ShowItBetter your correct. As a graphic designer in real-estate field, we use Lato and source sans pro a lot 👍. As you said Playfair used for titles only 😉. Recently "Colliers international" changed their official typeface to source sans pro.
I love that you spoke about introducing our personality/identity in typography. Haven't really thought about it this deeply before. Oddly, I found myself going back to Times New Roman for small, descriptive text. It gives some real warmth. Wouldn't think that would be me a few years back, when I exclusively was looking for sans serif fonts. Also, I need to get on that Patreon asap, the amount of value you provide on a regular basis is unreal! Thank you ❤️
Thanks Adrianna! totally right, i think we also identify with one more than the other...serif rather than sans...etc. But choosing fonts shows a lot about a person
I use Tw cen (Twentieth Century) for school. It looks similar to futura, I actually just googled it and found out it was designed to compete against futura
I am always spending too much time on choosing a font, trying to find a balance for the project and accessibility/easily readable. I’ve used all but a couple of the ones you mentioned, but I think my default for large amounts of text is Gil Sans. Thanks for the video, helpful info. I think I will try Montserrat on a project I am working on because the description you gave reminds me of the ideal outcome of my project. Also, nice to see that your patreons are worldwide, thats such a great thing about architecture, the language is almost universal.
In this day and age that we are living where everything needs to be presented to be shown from our computer screens, its important to design presentations as an extra add on to your work where a lot of times makes your work speak for itself when you presented well. Fonts are extremelly important when composing a presentation and it needs to be well thought out as if its part of your project. When all combined it presents a more pleasant experience and a better opinion from the audience about your artistic taste. Great video steven! You know you did a great job again !
Not only is this guy great but also explains humbly everything..like a suggestion and not lecturing us by looking down at us which so many TH-camrs who teach design and ux do. It is so refreshing to watch this video ..i just liked and subscribed even though I'm not architect..i was just looking for fonts for my visiting card
thankfully you suggested open source fonts... tired of a graphic designers using copyright or obscure fonts... the downstream impacts of their choices are just painful and selfish.... and please use unicode fonts if your work is going to be international...... Garamond? which Garamond? there is quite a variety,, are they open source ?... careful! PS please just use "GOOGLE FONTS" for all your font selection, free,, grat interface, open source... none of that licensing crap....
Your animations and way of editing remind me of vox type of videos, the diference is that vox has way more people and resources, and you are just one person, which is impressive, keep up the good work man!! 😊
This is one of those videos like 3 condoms every person having woopie should use. Watching this next on my things to do list are watching paint dry or recirding every toiket fkush. Ie: real interesting
It's strange but true, choosing fonts takes much time than the overall composition and the work ltself! 😂 Anyways Kudos! My favourites Jofin Sans & Bebas neue
I'm an interior designer self-learning some graphic design and putting together my marketing package. Greatly appreciate the detailed breakdown of each font. I also had to rewind that poppin part a couple of times, you cracked me up. Thanks!
I remember when I was a young architect and thought the artistry of my drawings was the end product, now I use simplex for notes and Arial for titles and focus on communicating my idea for the end product, actually gets constructed
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't people hate having the same font as another business or company? With logo design it's a challenge every comission to ensure any fonts I use are in some way different or altered so they're not the same as another business. I remember for a long time many businesses choosing the 'Morpheus' and 'Bleeding Cowboys' font for everything.. irk

there is alte DIN (public domain from what I gathered) but I can't find a complete family

"Neue" means "New" in German. It's pronounced "noie". Otherwise, nice vídeo.

Helvetica is a “Typeface”. “Typography” is the art of setting or working with typefaces (size, spacing, margins, placement, etc).
Yes! And a font is an instance of a typeface in a specific size, weight, and style (e.g., Helvetica 12pt bold roman).

This whole video would be a semester's work for a student.
I am a fan of Montserrat, Helvetica & Raleway

Should be included "Source sans pro, Lato, Playfair Display" 😁
Playfair display almost made it to the list!! But I use it mostly for titles and not body text
@@ShowItBetter your correct. As a graphic designer in real-estate field, we use Lato and source sans pro a lot 👍. As you said Playfair used for titles only 😉. Recently "Colliers international" changed their official typeface to source sans pro.
You missed Neutra... also very popular architectural font

youre welcome Sam!
Its not only restricted to architects , these are the series of fonts which suit possibly all kinds of design presentations too!
Anyone else has troubles pronouncing the font names? 🙈
Yup haha
Lemon milk, keep calm, Topazia, raleway and champagne & limousines are a few other I love using for presentations.
I use Tw cen (Twentieth Century) for school. It looks similar to futura, I actually just googled it and found out it was designed to compete against futura
Your editing skills are next level! Love the work man, a fantastic and helpful video.
Loved the collage type video editing technique.
Glad you liked it!
Mi favorita es Comic Sans
Ahhh que dijeron jajajaja, excelente vídeo Steven, saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽
jajaja no le hagan el feo a comic sans....
Found this video through TH-cam recommendations. Great video! 👍
Alejandro Aravena´s ELEMENTAL is also a really good example of fonts relfecting their architectural principles !

totally agree! each little detail that we can improve in our presentations makes all the difference
this channel is seriously underrated

I use *Emberly* for like old style architecture works like timelines, or history works, it look so good! And you can download it for free.
I'll look it up, thanks!

The FedEx logo is Helvetica, not Futura. Supreme? Helvetica. Red Bull? Custom type, kinda based on Futura, but not Futura.
Webletter BB... combines Readability with a hand-drawn look! Heyyy....I still like using my parallel rule drawing board, kids! :-)
My absolute favourite is NUNITO and before that one i was using GEOSANS LIGHT. Both are so nice!

haha I'm still in a learning process, but hopefully one day I can get a bit better animating!
neue is german for new - it's more like /naw-yeah/
Using Montserrat since the start of our architectural office.
Very nice video! Greetings from Germany.
i went through a bebas neue and helvetica phase. new obsessions are rubik, karla and bahnschrift. lol!
loll
04:04 that kerning though. P aris.
Roboto looks like a copy of Franklin Gothic. And Poppins looks like a copy of Century Gothic.
Adapter is my latest font obsession. Gorgeous family.
So if you're making an architecture portfolio. Can you use different fonts for different projects.
Architects should design their own fonts like Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Lol i'm guilty of not exploring my font options, but bebas Neue my all time go-to fonts 😅
Was plannin on preppin a pf and this just was the cherry on top. Thanks man! Thumbs up!
great! thank youuu

Current favourite that I’m using is Futura and Bold Britannic 😅
Helvetica is not good for road sign, It is nightmare. Use Font of Transport

Beautiful video! Props for the amazing edit! I know how long that takes ;)
Thanks a ton!
Excellent graphic work in this video ! Also, very informative

Hi, what is a good/safe site one could download these fonts from?
& thank you for this vid
It's strange but true, choosing fonts takes much time than the overall composition and the work ltself! 😂
Anyways Kudos!
My favourites Jofin Sans & Bebas neue
so true!! if we just choose random fonts every time it wont help the project as much
futura < serif < garamond < montserrat < helvetica
Bahnschrift
Such horrible background muzak
I'm an interior designer self-learning some graphic design and putting together my marketing package. Greatly appreciate the detailed breakdown of each font. I also had to rewind that poppin part a couple of times, you cracked me up. Thanks!
I remember when I was a young architect and thought the artistry of my drawings was the end product, now I use simplex for notes and Arial for titles and focus on communicating my idea for the end product, actually gets constructed
I’m definitely using these tips for my precedent study document I have to type for studio
yessssssssssssssssssss
I just love it this funny ending lol Loving what you're doing, keep it up the hard work! ❤
hahaha thanks!
The green cover at 1:20, what is this design style called?? I see it everywhere!
After this video, I'll probably continue using Comic Sans.
haha the best one Patrolo!
Is there any similar alternative for photoshop?
I believe the Fedex logo is set in Univers, not Futura
Where is DIN? And Stencil?
"typography"
Great presentation! Can you do a video showing how you organize your library?
At the studio we use Ubuntu for the logo and Mayo for texts.
I use Franklin goth...
Stop studying in architecture school, start watching SHOW IT BETTER
I love this channel so damn much, GREAT WORK!!
thanks man! appreciate it
My favs are futura and babaa's new 💫🙌
Great 👍👍👍
Aktiv grotesk and Georgia italic are also pretty widely used. At least at my university
yesss Georgia is the best!
Comic Sans is the way to go :- 1
Beautiful presented! Amazing editing and presentation.
Futura : 1927
Me : Whaaaaaaaaattttttttt..!!
I think you now need to make after effects tutorials :D
Franklin Gothic?!
Several mighty alternatives : DIN, Stratum, Klavika and Gotham
ESPAÑOL TÍO HABLA EN ESPAÑOL
Watch your kerning between "P" and "a" @ 00:03:58 and "L" and "V" @ 00:07:21. Inexcusable.
my practice uses comic sans
Helvetica it is for me.
No BANK GOTHIC?
futura SLAYYYYS
Steven can you kindly do a review on the RIBA student president's medal boards, please?
There is only "Garamond", from everything named in the video, in Revit 19 :(
