10 layered font families that will rock your titles

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 10:40 PM PDT

Have you noticed a trend around layered fonts recently? I did, and I really enjoy this trend. These type systems usually allow for great flexibility and a focus around titling that I find very welcome. In this post I tried to make a selection of the best layered fonts currently available to designers.

Create almost endless combinations with Core Circus. The font family includes 20 fonts with both 3D and 2D effects for customization. Core Circus layered font Core Circus

6. Frontage

If you like the nice old-fashioned signs of shops in the mid-20th century, you should like Frontage. This font family has a nice vintage feel to it, with many customizations possible to make it the perfect titling font.

The letters have been built on a grid and widely spaced to help create a maximum impact.

7. Prismatic

Prismatic font was inspired by the titling effects that signage painters used to create. With this font you can create those very easily and customize in a snap. Prismatic is probably the most comprehensive font system in this list, it lets you create styles like: inline, outline, collegiate, drop shadow, 3D effect, convex, beveled or detached shadow.

What should you look for in a layered font?

Obviously, the first thing you should go after is to find a layered font you like and that fits your needs. The other big selection criteria should be customizability, you should be able to use the font in more than just one project and still not look like you are always using the same one. Last but not least, you should always keep readability in mind and chose accordingly.
