THE ONE DESIGN TREND I WANT TO SEE MORE OF IN 2026

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Recent film posters, from the raw, hand-drawn romance of Wuthering Heights to the bold energy of Ballad of a Small Player and the maximalist flourish of del Toro's Frankenstein, stand out by rejecting safe, algorithm-driven design in favor of expressive typography that creates immediate emotional impact. This shift toward risk, texture, and strong visual voice feels refreshing in a culture dulled by sameness, pointing to a wider desire for design that sparks joy, curiosity, and genuine connection.
