Oswald Bold
Narrow newspaper-style headline font. Good for longer titles and documentary channels. Designed by Vernon Adams, Kalapi Gajjar, Cyreal. Free for personal and commercial use.
Is Oswald free for commercial use?
Yes. Oswald is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. That means you can:
- use it in thumbnails, videos, logos, ads and printed products, including on monetized channels;
- install it on as many devices as you like and share it with your editor or team;
- embed it in documents, apps and websites.
The one thing you can't do is sell the font file on its own. If you share a modified version of the font, it has to stay under the same license. This is a plain-language summary, not legal advice: the license file in the download is what applies.
