Author's note
Murder Block Bold is a striking, cartoony display font designed by James Greenwood. With its obscenely fat letterforms and all-caps design, this font exudes a bold, unapologetic presence. The expanded width and simple punctuation lend it a dynamic, impactful aesthetic, well-suited for attention-grabbing headlines and expressive branding.
The font's defining features include its exaggerated, nearly-comical proportions and lack of lowercase characters, creating a bold, eye-catching typographic style. Loose tracking may be necessary to maintain legibility, especially with certain color combinations, showcasing the designer's consideration of practical application.
This font excels in design contexts where a bold, unapologetic aesthetic is desired, such as in comic books, movie posters, and street-style branding. Its unique character can add a touch of playfulness and edge to a variety of projects, making it a versatile choice for designers seeking to make a strong typographic statement.
