Minimalism

• Minimalism is just keeping things simple.
• The concept minimalism is removal of all the unnecessary parts, details and joinery in such a stage where no one can remove anything further to improve the design.
• It is simple in form and function, devoid of pointless decorations, yet expensive.

Minimalism color palettes and shape

• Minimalism all about extreme simplification of form. We can't expect complex shape and all the subtle shades of color.
• The minimalists of today use more complex shapes and richer color palettes.

Fonts in minimalism

• Minimalist fonts are crisp, straightforward, and basically they lack any decorations.

Helvetica

• Helvetica is a font that is related to both modernism and minimalism.
• It was created back in 1957. By today’s standards, it’s not a notably stripped back construction, but for its time, it was revolutionary, as most of the dominant fonts were much more heavily ornamented.

Mr. phone

• Mr. Phone takes the approach of using a very limited vocabulary of shapes in the construction of each letter.
• Mr. Phone was created in 1997 by Glyphobet Font Foundry.
• It isn’t a font that dates back to the early days of minimalism but it’s certainly minimal in spirit.
