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

📅 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.

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.
