If so, then thin, polite fonts probably won\u2019t get the job done. Instead, thick, heavy-duty fonts that scream for attention might do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>These fonts are specifically designed for designers who aren\u2019t afraid of taking risks by veering from traditionalist design trends. As such, if you think you\u2019re prepared to take such as risk, consider using any of the following extra bold fonts in your next project.<\/p>\n<h2>1. High Contrast<\/h2>\n<p>Many extra bold fonts are characterized by their un-varying stroke sizes. You can use the fun font we illustrated above as a case in point. You\u2019ll notice the letters are all exactly the same in stroke size. However, this may not be your desired option.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/high-contrast.jpg?2\" width=\"500\" height=\"362\" alt=\"high contrast\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for a little more font contrast in an upcoming project, choose one of the following high-contrast fonts we\u2019ve indicated below. Varying from extra thick to ultra-thin, the strokes in these fonts make them highly popular. This is because they not only make an impact visually, they also ooze a \"feeling\" of grace and class. Taking a risk doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t do it with style!<\/p>\n<h3>Fonts suggestions:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/nouvelle-vague.font\">Nouvelle Vague<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/nouvelle-vague.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/Nouvelle-Vague.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"164\" alt=\"Nouvelle Vague\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bodoni-xt.font\">Bodoni XT<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bodoni-xt.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/Bodoni-XT.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"192\" alt=\"Bodoni XT\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>2. Bold and Compact<\/h2>\n<p>The downside of extra bold fonts is how much space they typically consume. If you\u2019re working on a compact design project but still want to make a statement with bold fonts, one of the following bold and compact choices may be the perfect option.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/bold-compact.jpg?2\" width=\"500\" height=\"481\" alt=\"bold compact\"><\/figure>\n<p>By being extra bold but consuming less space, they offer the best of both worlds. You\u2019ll notice in the example below the strokes are still very dark and make an impact, but because they are condensed you can fit it into tight places. Just be careful you don\u2019t over-use it, because it can end up making your space look cluttered and cramped if you go overboard.<\/p>\n<p>And for most people, reading pages of bold font all on its own is hard on their eyes, so condensed fonts make it even harder. Chances are if you go overboard they\u2019ll end up skipping right over something important.<\/p>\n<h3>Fonts suggestions:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/SF-Archery-Black\">Archery<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/SF-Archery-Black\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/Archery.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"262\" alt=\"Archery\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/Furore\">Furore<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/Furore\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/Furore.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"167\" alt=\"Furore\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/forum\/read\/49918\/hershey-s-name-font-please\">Hursheys<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/forum\/read\/49918\/hershey-s-name-font-please\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/Hursheys.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"210\" alt=\"Hurshey\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/forque.font\">Forque<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/forque.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/Forque.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" alt=\"Forque\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Vintage<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, vintage and bold is just better. At least that\u2019s the assumption with these fonts. When you want to portray a retro feel, use one of the following fonts for an impactful result. They are great for incorporating \"emotion\" into a design.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/vintage-font.jpg?2\" width=\"500\" height=\"407\" alt=\"vintage font\"><\/figure>\n<p>For instance the \"scary\" feel those old-fashioned movie posters often portray. Or the slick artsy feel you might find on a museum advert. Anytime you want to inject a bit of \"old school\" into your project, vintage fonts are hands down a great way to do it.<\/p>\n<h3>Fonts suggestions:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/vintage.font\">Vintage<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/vintage.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/vintage.jpg?2\" alt=\"vintage\" width=\"400\" height=\"202\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/candy-inc.font\">Candy Inc<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/candy-inc.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/candy.jpg?2\" alt=\"candy\" width=\"400\" height=\"222\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/superstar-m54.font\">Superstar<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/superstar-m54.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/superstar.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"222\" alt=\"superstar\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>4. Playful<\/h2>\n<p>While extra bold fonts are often loud, they don\u2019t need to be insulting or even classy, graceful, or retro. Sometimes they just want to be fun! If you want to retain a playful feel in your designs, consider using one of the following playful bold fonts. These fonts are great options for children-oriented designs or more relaxed projects.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/playful-bold.jpg?2\" width=\"500\" height=\"485\" alt=\"Aron Jancso\"><\/figure>\n<p>They are a bit reminiscent of gingerbread cookies and sesame street murals. You\u2019d also find these fonts used in the packaging design of many of today\u2019s popular toys and other advertising geared toward youngsters and teenagers.<\/p>\n<h3>Fonts suggestions:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/cookies.font\">Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/cookies.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/cookies.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"262\" alt=\"cookies\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/grobold.font\">Grobold<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/grobold.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/grobold.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"211\" alt=\"grobold\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bubblegum.font\">Bubblegum<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bubblegum.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/bubblegum.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"210\" alt=\"bubblegum\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>5. Heavy and Sans Serif<\/h2>\n<p>The following fonts are heavy, black and modern. They\u2019re also great for achieving an in-your-face effect. Use these options when you want to make an impactful impression with a modern sans serif approach. You can also try combining a sans serif font <em>(a font without feet) <\/em>with a serif font <em>(a font with feet)<\/em> and mixing it up a bit.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/bold-sans-serif.jpg?2\" width=\"500\" height=\"325\" alt=\"bold sans serif\"><\/figure>\n<p>It can be a little bit dangerous to mix and match fonts and the result can end up looking amateur, so experiment a bit and I\u2019d recommend always getting a second opinion before going live with any project design.<\/p>\n<h3>Fonts suggestions:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1001freefonts.com\/harabara.font\">Harabara<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1001freefonts.com\/harabara.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/harabara.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" alt=\"harabara\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bebas-neue.font\">Bebas Neue<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bebas-neue.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/bebas.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" alt=\"bebas\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/boris-black-bloxx.font\">Boris Black Boxx<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/boris-black-bloxx.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/boris.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"198\" alt=\"boris\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>6. Serif Bold<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps sans serif isn\u2019t the route you want to take. The following font options are for those traditionalists who love a good serif font. The combination of bold strokes and elegant serif detailing can be a great option for your next project.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/bold-fonts.jpg?2\" width=\"500\" height=\"249\" alt=\"bold font\"><\/figure>\n<p>Remember serif fonts are the fonts with \"feet\" <em>(or the little detailing at the bottom of every letter that spreads out a bit)<\/em> and can sometimes be combined with similar sans serif fonts for a great effect, often \"old-fashioned\" in mood.<\/p>\n<h3>Fonts suggestions:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/grendel.font\">Grendel<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/grendel.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/grendel.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"198\" alt=\"grendel\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bambi.font\">Bambi<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/bambi.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/bambi.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"198\" alt=\"bambi\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/acknowledgement.font\">Acknowledgement<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/acknowledgement.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/Acknowledgement.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" alt=\"acknowledgement\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>7. The Boldest of Bold<\/h2>\n<p>Before proceeding, you must be prepared for the consequences of these extra bold fonts. These are the boldest of bold, the blackest of black and should be used with the utmost of care. To make the ultimate personality statement with your next project, consider using one of these boldest of bold options.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/boldest.jpg?2\" width=\"500\" height=\"325\" alt=\"boldest\"><\/figure>\n<p>The downside is that these types of fonts should be used very sparingly. They can at times be hard to read clearly or easily and too much of a good thing can ruin the look you\u2019re trying to achieve. So have fun, but proceed with caution when using the boldest of the bold. You\u2019ll often find fonts like these used by DJ\u2019s to blare out an advertisement on where their next gig will be, to entice people to come in and see them mix. You\u2019ll also often find fonts like these on CD covers!<\/p>\n<h3>Fonts suggestions:<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/insight-issue-new.font\">Insight Issue New<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/insight-issue-new.font\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/insight.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"218\" alt=\"insight\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/Giant-Head-OT\">Giant Head<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/Giant-Head-OT\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/giant.jpg?2\" width=\"400\" height=\"218\" alt=\"giant head\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/JuneBug\">JuneBug<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\/fonts\/JuneBug\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/extra-bold-fonts\/junebug.jpg?2\" alt=\"junebug\" width=\"400\" height=\"238\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>While extra bold fonts aren\u2019t appropriate for all designs, they are sometimes exactly what your projects crave. Play around with different font combination such as pairing an extra bold font with an ultra-thin one for great effects. However, by using extra bold fonts, you must be prepared for the consequences, such as bolder statements and increased risk taking.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-bottom:10px\">More fonts:<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"150\">Design Style Fonts<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/100-great-abstract-and-grunge-fonts\/\">Abstract and Grunge Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/bold-chunky-fonts\/\">Bold Chunky Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/chalk-fonts\/\">Chalk Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-cursive-handwritten-fonts\/\">Cursive Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/40-free-high-quality-hand-drawn-fonts\/\">Hand-Drawn Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/fresh-minimalistic-fonts\/\">Minimalistic Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/high-quality-ribbon-fonts\/\">Ribbon Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/ultra-light-elegant-fonts\/\">Ultra-Light Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/rounded-fonts\/\">Rounded Fonts<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"150\">Functional Fonts<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/extra-bold-fonts\/\">Poster Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-fonts-for-titles-and-headlines\/\">Titles and Headlines Fonts<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"150\">Handwriting Fonts<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/flat-design-free-fonts\/\">Flat-Design Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-script-handwritten-fonts\/\">Handwritten Fonts<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"150\">Technical Fonts<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/monospaced-fonts\/\">Monospace Fonts<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"150\">Thematic Fonts<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/40-free-unique-cartoon-and-comic-fonts\/\">Cartoon and Comic Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/best-free-christmas-fonts\/\">Christmas Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/christmas-symbol-fonts\/\">Christmas Symbol Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/game-of-thrones-fonts-text-effects\/\">Game of Thrones Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-high-quality-gothic-horror-fonts\/\">Gothic Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/sci-fi-fonts\/\">Sci-Fi Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/20-best-free-spooky-fonts-for-halloween\/\">Halloween Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-steampunk-fonts\/\">Steampunk Fonts<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"150\">Typeface Classification Fonts<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-sans-serif-fonts-to-download\/\">Sans Serif Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-script-fonts\/\">Script Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-slab-serif-fonts\/\">Slab Serif Fonts<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-high-quality-symbol-fonts\/\">Symbol Fonts<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to grab the attention of viewers with your next design and slap them in the face with it?
