It’s time to make an impact. Choose your extra bold fonts wisely. When a powerful vehicle is needed to carry an important message, there are plenty of capable, but less obvious typefaces for the job. Here are some recommendations along with some real-world examples. And just in case none of these call to you, we’ve posted a more exhaustive list in the FontFeed.

Derived from Spiekermann and Ole Schäfer’s concept for “Glasgow 1999 City of Architecture and Design”, FF Govan’s three widths, two ascender heights, and two descender lengths can be combined to create emphasis in a sentence or even within a single word. Innovative ligatures too!
