James Eight Eleven Font

James Eight Eleven font by Graham Meade is a free retro display typeface with broad, inky shapes and chunky curves that feel both friendly and powerful. The wide, squared counters and thick, almost cartoonish stems give it a bold, 70s-inspired presence, while the soft corners keep it from feeling harsh. It looks like it was printed in heavy black ink, then slightly softened at the edges, making every word feel solid and confident.

Using James Eight Eleven, headlines hit like a stamped logo-unmissable on posters, T-shirts, packaging, signage, and bold social graphics. This free font shines when you set it large and give it room to breathe, then pair it with a clean geometric sans for body copy so the heavy, retro letters can really do the talking.
