Fonts

I’m not a (typography) designer, but I still get very happy when I find a nice looking font.

  • Cartograph CF [Monospace]
    • Monospaces, but warm [$$]
  • Greycliff [Sans-serif]
    • Sans-serif from the same design studio. Also has a subtle warm tone [$$ ]
  • MD IO [Monospace]
    • One of my favourite monospace fonts [$$]
  • Manrope [Sans-serif]
    • Great Sans-serif font for pretty much anything. Modern and clean. [free]
  • Berkeley Mono [Monospace]
    • Something very analytic, yet satisfying about this font. One of my favourites [$$]
  • Space Grotesk
  • Innovate
