Trendy Fonts

     I decided to just google "trendy fonts" and see what would pop up from a basic search and this is what I got.  I enjoy the look of all of these different styles and enjoy how the type is more of a visual rather than just informative piece of the work.  I wouldn't use this type style, would you?

I'm sure this says something really interesting...but I only speak 'Merican, so I don't know what it says.
