Five Big Bold Beautiful Fonts

Some of my favorite fonts ever are big and bold ones. Perfect for attention-grabbing headlines or logos you’ll remember, these are fonts you can’t ignore. All free, and all awesome:

Nevis

nevis

Nevis’ clean, crisp lines won over my minimalistic heart right away. Apparently, it features “96 of the most commonly used glyphs”. Even if you’re not sure what that means, you’ll agree that this font has a place in your library. Download Nevis »

HVD Comic Serif Pro

hvd-comicserifpro

As a comic font, this one’s a little more casual, but still a gorgeous bold serif that certainly gets the message across. Download HVD Comic Serif Pro »

Acknowledgement

acknowledgement

I’ve got to acknowledge how much I love this font (sorry, couldn’t resist). This one’s a little bit Western, wide but not overly so, and nice and thick but still very readable. Download Acknowledgement »

Giant Head OT

giant-head

Categorized under “Novelty” fonts, this one’s definitely fun, and perfect for more casual applications. Download Giant Head OT »

Old Republic

old-republic

I’ve saved the best for last: Old Republic not only shares its name with one of my favorite video games of all time, it’s a beautiful font, with sleek lines and a letter “w” I want to use over and over again. Download Old Republic »

    I agree with you…Old Republic is a beautiful font, and Nevis is also just terrific.

    Thanks for the download links!
