Fonts: The Big, Bold And Beautiful

I’ll admit it, I have a thing for big, bold and beautiful fonts. I’m not ashamed! And I know you probably have a thing for bold fonts as well. The list I have compiled ranges from free to affordable, to expensive. Enjoy!

Fart Deco

Ive used fart deco in the less than traditional projects before – its got a fun feel to it. Fart Deco is available for free download it here (zip).

Romeral

Romeral is designed to produce a noticeable visual impact that invites the audience to the reading due to its sizable thickness. Interestingly enough, the basic idea was to find a way to fill the color titles zone in order to create a comfortable atmosphere for the reading experience. Nowadays, the complex typography of the typefaces makes it very hard for the designer to work with it comfortably. Romeral’s straight geometric form allows an amateur designer to modify its points without much difficulty The idea is to be able to easily design a personalized layout of the text.

Romeral is available for free – all you need to do is leave a comment on the blog requesting the font and telling the designer what you will use it for.

Black Slabbath

Black Slabbath is the heaviest typeface in the world. There’s only one thing about this new typeface that isn’t colossally black: the razor-thin white space. It slices through and between geometric characters, creating a juxtaposition of contrasts and rhythms.

Black Slabbath isnt free (its $40) but thats not bad for such a heavy typeface!

Bodoni Ultra Bold

Bodoni is the name given to a series of serif typefaces first designed by Giambattista Bodoni (1740–1813) in 1798. The typeface is classified as didone modern. Bodoni followed the ideas of John Baskerville, as found in the printing type Baskerville, that of increased stroke contrast and a more vertical, slightly condensed, upper case, but taking them to a more extreme conclusion. Bodoni’s typeface has a narrower underlying structure with flat, unbracketed serifs. The face has extreme contrast between thick and thin strokes, and an overall geometric construction.

Comalle

Comalle is an organic typeface that rescues some elements of handwritten script, but its stroke does not necessary answer to a literal calligraphy structure.Comalle produces a powerful impact on the page. It was designed with thicker strokes than its counter forms. The objective is that the black of the letter fills the page and causes a fastest visual impact than typographies that balance blacks and whites.

Giza

The sixteen styles of Giza bring back the colorful power and variety of the original Egyptian letterforms, a glory of the Victorian era. Designer David Berlow based the family on showings in Vincent Figgins’ specimen of 1845, the triumphant introduction of this thunderous style. The truly unforgettable “Nine” weights were designed for ultimate emphasis in posters, and do their most effective work in the very largest of sizes.
