Old Bob: A Display Font That Earns Its Place
Practical Designer Notes You’ll Actually Use
- Always test Old Bob in black and white before adding color—it’s a premium font, but its structure must stand alone.
- Check small-size readability early: 10–12pt in print, 18–24px on screen. If details vanish, scale up or switch context.
- Drop it into real mockups—not just type specimens. See how it sits on a tote bag, a book spine, or a Pinterest pin.
- Compare it beside at least three font categories: a modern sans serif, a classic serif, and a clean script font. Note where contrast works—and where it clashes.
- Confirm commercial licensing *before* any client or business use. Old Bob is a commercial font, but verify usage rights for digital products, SaaS platforms, or extended distribution.
- Resist overusing it. One strong Old Bob headline beats three weak ones. Let it breathe. Let it mean something.
