#16 Code Next by Fontfabric
Q1: Where did the idea for the typeface come from? Did you set out to address a specific use or suite of the application? Was this a design you’d had in mind for a while?
Ans: Actually, Code Next is the extended and improved version of another Code font of mine that was awarded Most Popular Font of 2011. Even then, DJs, in the electronic music industry, recognized it as their go-to font for concert posters, because of its winning combination of edgy geometry and excellent legibility.
Q2: What is the one or two most important things graphic communicators should know about the typeface, or how will the family of fonts help them create better design?
Ans: This new version, boldly named Code Next, retained the unique details and typeface characteristics of its predecessor. It’s also scaled-up to go beyond specific industries and become a modern workhorse geometric sans serif. If you’re on the lookout for a distinct and foremostly legible geometric font that plays well with almost any modern serif (thanks to its generous x-height and more), then Code Next is the way to go.
