Grantham Bold

Grantham Bold font by PJL is a free serif typeface with a wonderfully inky, hand-printed feel. Its chunky curves, softly flattened edges, and slightly uneven rhythm give every word a friendly weight, as if it’s been stamped onto the page rather than typeset. The letters feel sturdy yet warm, with rounded details that keep the bold forms from looking harsh or mechanical.

Using Grantham Bold, your titles and logos gain a grounded, vintage character that still reads clearly at a glance. This free font works beautifully for book covers, posters, café or bakery branding, packaging, event flyers, and characterful logo marks. Try pairing Grantham Bold with a clean geometric sans for small text, and let Grantham handle the big, attention-grabbing lines.
