How Are Designers Using Phat Fonts in E-Learning? #456

Using Chunky Fonts in E-Learning #456: Challenge | Recap

🏆 Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to share an example that shows how heavy, chunky fonts can be used in e-learning. You can share a single slide or build out a working interaction to show how you’re using big, fat, and chunky fonts.

Keywords and classifications

Chunky fonts are generally classified as "black," "display," or "ultra bold" within a typeface family. A quick search on Creative Market returned the following categories:

• Fat face fonts (these are some of my favorites)
• Display fonts
• Retro fonts
• Rounded fonts
• Bubble fonts
• Poster fonts
• Blackletter fonts
• Psychedelic fonts

🧰 Resources

Here are some serif-iously good resources on using and finding ultra heavy fonts:

📅 Next Week’s Challenge

• Challenge #457 (04.12): Pick 3. No, this isn't a lottery challenge. Instead, you'll combine three previous challenges into a single interaction.
• Challenge #458 (04.19): Roulette games. Inspired by a recent community discussion, this would be an excellent challenge topic to practice working with dials and random number variables.

Just a quick heads up – if you want your blog, website, or LinkedIn included in our recap posts, could you do me a favor and add or update those links onto your ELH profile sometime this week?

I found some broken links last week when I pulled the recap together. You spend a lot of time building creative examples, and your work deserves all the attention it can get.

If you make changes, please let me know in the comments below. Thanks!
