Aswell Bold

Aswell Bold font by Unauthorized Type is a free comic typeface that looks like it’s been scratched out with a slightly impatient pen. The letters in the Aswell family wobble and twist with a wiry energy, mixing playful comic curves with a hint of dark, storybook drama. Uneven strokes and quirky angles give words a restless, hand-drawn feel, as if they might scuttle off the page at any moment.

Using Aswell Bold, this free font shines on projects that need character with a mischievous edge: zines, indie comics, spooky kids’ titles, Halloween flyers, handmade product labels, and game interfaces. Its tight, lively rhythm keeps short phrases punchy and memorable. Pair Aswell Bold with a clean geometric sans for body text, and let Aswell handle the big, noisy headlines at larger sizes.
