Fonts for Future-forward Packaging 

Looking to make your packaging a little more futuristic. 

There is no specific definition for futuristic, but a lot of fonts will have minimal aesthetics, and will also utilize weird geometric shapes. There is also sans-serif, which is popular in the tech and business world, especially for smart technology, and for brands that are modern, in order to build reputations. 

Here, we’ll give you some of the best fonts for packaging, in both commercial and personal use and while it might be a little challenging to get these, we’ll tell you how you can. 

Blanka 

This is a font designed by Emmeran Richard and is the first of the many futuristic typefaces that the graphic designer has. It’s unconventional and minimalistic and is created by using different parts that are missing from various letterforms. 

It’s free for both commercial and personal use, so you might want to look into this one. 

Ailerons 

This is a font that’s designed by Adilson Gonzales and is a very clean typeface with tall types of letterforms. It’s perfect for innovative, premium feels to packaging,  and is great for occupying packaging space, especially if it does stand on the taller end.

This one is free for personal usage, and if you want to use it for commercial endeavors, make sure to contact the artist to find out if you can. 

Eliano 

This is another one designed by Emanuele Papale, and it works with various geometric shapes, creating a fun and futuristic sort of aesthetic.

It utilizes the A as a triangle, and then the O is an additional dot within this. 

It’s Avant Garde, and it won’t have organic lines, so it’s more geometric than anything else.

It’s free for both personalized and commercial use and can be a fun way to really stand out. 

Exan-3

This is a font that’s created by Jon Carlos and is known as a monospaced sort of font that offers a futuristic yet retro look, with a mixture of both curved and straight lines, and the usage of angular, and rounded corners. 

It’s great, and since it is monospaced, it makes this font a lot wider, and ideal for packaging that tends to also be a bit wider as well. 

It’s free to use for both personalized and commercial usages. 

Stellar

This is a font that’s been created by Mathieu Desjardins, and it’s a minimalistic type, especially compared to the others we’ve listed. It achieves the futuristic and aesthetics of this through clarity and simplicity. It’s great because it comes in 4 different weights, and you can use this with over 33 different languages. 

It is free for both commercialized and personal use. 

Dual 

Finally, there is DUAL, which was created by Charles Daoud, and is inspired by the Neue Haas and Gotham fonts. 

This is one with straight lines and over 90 degree angles, creating a feel that’s experimental and unique. It has a sans serif and full width type of design also make this complex, but also minimalistic all at the same time. 

It comes with 251 alternate types of glyphs, and 10 different stylistic types of sets, so it’s super flexible. It also provides support for both North America, and also South America, along with other parts of Europe too.

The 300 type is free both personally and commercially, whereas the other weighted options are a little bit pricier, but if you don’t need to pay, you can just get the regular and it will do well with a lot of personalized and commercial touches for your own various needs as well.
