blackboardbold

Blackboardbold is a typeface designed by Paul van der Laan and published by The Foundry. It is characterized by its substantial, almost chalk-like stroke weight, which gives it a bold and impactful appearance. The design aims to evoke the feeling of writing on a blackboard, with clear, thick lines that are easily legible. Blackboardbold is a sans-serif font, meaning it lacks serifs, the small decorative strokes found at the end of a typeface's main strokes. This contributes to its modern and clean aesthetic.

The typeface is often used for headlines, display text, and situations where strong emphasis is desired. Its robust nature makes it stand out and command attention. While its name suggests a direct connection to chalkboards, the font is versatile and can be employed in a variety of contexts beyond educational settings. It is available in multiple weights, allowing for flexibility in design applications. The design process behind Blackboardbold involved careful consideration of stroke contrast and terminal endings to achieve its distinctive look.
