Here are a few of the more popular ones...

Bespoke Serif is family of serif fonts intended for use in text sizes: this is a typeface designed for reading. The serifs at the end of the letterforms’ strokes are wedge-shaped. The letterforms themselves feature large and open counterforms, which help maximise the typeface’s legibility.

Clash Grotesk Display is a family of sans serif fonts for use in large sizes

Clash Grotesk is a family of sans serif fonts, with a twist. While the design of the family’s six styles is generally neo-grotesk in style, one feature immediately sets it from other typefaces in that genre: Its letterforms have very small ‘apertures’. These are the openings at the edges of the counterforms; if you look at the letter ‘c’, for instance, the space between ends of the two arms on the right-hand side of the letter is very small. It almost looks as if that aperture is about to close shut.

Satoshi is a modernist sans serif typeface. Its design combines typically grotesk-style letterforms, with some characters that are quite geometrically-designed. In terms of its appearance, Satoshi was inspired by Modernism and Industrial-Era graphic and typographic design. The family has five weights on offer, ranging from Light to Black. It is an excellent choice for use in branding, editorial, and poster design.
