Anthony Petrie has totally nailed these [font and typography sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/font-tester). If only we could use them for real for [word documents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fancy-text-generator) and the like--how much fun would that be?

I adore both the [monster and alien set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases). Every time you look at these images, another characteristic of a letter jumps out at you. This is aided by the really strong colors Petrie has used in their design. A practical font? Of course not. A visually brilliant font? Oh yes, bring it on!
