Author's note
Return of the Boss font by Chequered Ink is a free pixel bitmap typeface. Its narrow, brick-like letters snap to the grid with crunchy corners and a steady, marching rhythm—like an end-level title flashing on an old CRT. The spacing is tight, the forms are bold, and the result feels instant: press start, you’re in. It brings arcade confidence without the clutter.
Using Return of the Boss, headlines and badges punch through: retro game titles, HUD elements, stream overlays, event posters, stickers, app icons, and YouTube thumbnails. Keep it at whole-pixel sizes for razor-sharp edges, and pair this free font with a simple sans like Inter for body copy to keep the spotlight on the pixels.
