Is Outfit the new Helvetica?

March 15, 2024

There’s a common belief in the design community that the Helvetica typeface can solve all of our typography problems. We can spend days looking for the perfect typeface for a project and, after painstakingly searching, resort to, “I’ll just use Helvetica.” Yes, it’s that good and functional.

But could we have found a new Helvetica? Maybe we’ll find out. Only time will tell.

Today, we are spotlighting a typeface called OUTFIT

Outfit is a sans-serif typeface with 9 weights [exclusive of italics]. At this point, it might be the perfect typeface for every project.

Outfit is like that cool aunty who always promises you something and fulfills her promises. We promise you can use the Outfit typeface for any design, and it will work instantly. It’s like finding gold amid dirt. The elegance, structure, and sheer poise of this typeface gives any design a facelift, and we’re excited to share a remarkable discovery with you because we don’t gate-keep😉

You can find the Outfit typeface for free in Google Fonts, and we would absolutely love to know how well it serves you. 

Dropping our golden pens at this juncture until next time, we’re off to discover more gold!
