Space Grotesk
A tech-y sans serif created in 2018 by Florian Karsten, designed for optimising readability at non-display sizes. The typeface shares a close likeness of the angular Space Mono, whilst offering high functionality that would be perfect for a wide array of projects. Its functionality is what defines its personality that would be perfect for both digital and print based mediums.

Darker Grotesque is the ideal typeface for any post-modern or brutalist inspired work or for any project that requires that typographic edge to stand out from the crowd.
DM Sans

It is the direct example of variable typography and typefaces within one family, allowing you to combine different weights within the family without having to worry about
Cormorant Garamond
A timeless classic and Serif heavy weight, Cormorant Garamond was designed by Christian Thalmann, heavily inspired by the work of Claude Garamond, however, in contrast to previous Garamond-inspired typefaces, this iteration is designed as a display typeface. It comes with a plethora of differing weights that allow great scope for application and also the ability to be paired with a neutral sans serif.
