What makes a font feel like gaming

Gaming thumbnails borrow from game interfaces: squared corners (Russo One, Rajdhani), stencil and military lettering (Black Ops One), and tall condensed letters that leave room for a character shot (Teko).

Big, bright and outlined matters more than the exact font. Try the Gaming red preset, keep the title to two or three words, and check the small preview: gaming thumbnails often sit in a crowded feed of other gaming thumbnails.
