Gaming design loves bold, energetic type, from logos and titles to stream overlays and video thumbnails. The trick is to keep that energy readable on screens of every size.
What fits the genre
- Strong display fonts for titles, logos and thumbnails.
- Bold, condensed styles that pack impact into a small space.
- Clean, legible fonts for menus, scores and interface text.
Match the mood
Different games call for different voices. A retro pixel feel, a sleek futuristic look, or a heavy aggressive style each suit different titles. Use one bold display font for the headline and a simple font for everything that needs to be read quickly during play.
License terms vary from one font to another. Always review the license included with a specific font before using it, especially for commercial work.
