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.

Bold designs often convey confidence and strength simply by being big and blocky. Bold styles add a focus on modernity and youth, whereas lighter styles help to emphasize elegance and sophistication. When bold fonts are also rounded, they look fun and cute. When bold typefaces are cursive, have different stroke widths, or organic swashes, they’re great for communicating a more comprehensive range of traits—everything from creativity and vintage to a prettier personality.
