Top Eleven Fonts of 2011

At the end of the year it’s always popular to try to track trends. So a bit of number crunching with our sales record yields some interesting data, starting with a look at what individual fonts sold particularly well during the past year. There’s some value to looking at what other font users have found appealing. You might find their choices instructive.

Traditionally we’d do this as a top ten list, but because it’s 2011, here are our eleven top selling fonts of the past year. They’re mostly reliable classics, but a few popular new fonts snuck onto the list as well.

#1: WINDLASS

#2: ALBEMARLE

#3: ALLEGHENY

#4: CAPTAIN KIDD

#5: GUILFORD

#6: BRANDYWINE

#7: ST. NICHOLAS

#8: SUSPICION

#9: MONCRIEF

#10: BERGLING

#11: CHANGELING

Each of the links takes you direct to the font’s store listing. If you place an order for any of these fonts before the end of the year you can get a 20% discount on your total order with the coupon code ELEVEN on checkout.
