Character Bold

Character Bold font by Masato Shimojima is a free comic display typeface with a juicy, hand-drawn punch. Its chunky, inky curves and slightly tilted rhythm feel like they’ve been brushed in one confident sweep, giving every word a bouncy, animated personality. The heavy weight and soft, blobby edges make text read like a character of its own, even in just a few letters.

Using Character Bold, titles jump off the page on kids’ book covers, comic splash pages, snack packaging, stickers, game menus, and playful logos. This free font shines when set big and bold, then supported by a simple sans-serif for any small supporting text.
