Bold fonts come in many shapes and sizes, from serif and sans-serif fonts to modern handwritten and display styles. Bold type is often more vivid and eye-catching, allowing brands that use these thicker weights to be loud and stand out.
They often convey confidence and strength simply by being big and blocky. Bold styles can be more modern and younger than lighter font styles of the same family. When bold fonts are paired with being round, they look fun and cute. If bold type is cursive with organic swashes, they’re great for communicating a more comprehensive range of traits—everything from creativity and vintage to a prettier personality.
