Advert Italic

Advert Italic font by Richard William Mueller is a free comic display typeface with thick, inky strokes that feel like they’ve been brushed straight onto a poster. The rounded, slightly squashed letters lean forward with a bouncy rhythm, giving every word a friendly shove of energy. Its bold, tightly-knit shapes hold together beautifully at large sizes, making headlines look loud, playful, and impossible to ignore.

Using Advert Italic, you can inject instant personality into snack packaging, kids’ branding, event posters, YouTube thumbnails, comic-style logos, and bold social graphics. This free font keeps text feeling hand-drawn and approachable while still reading cleanly from a distance. Try pairing Advert Italic with a simple, neutral sans serif for body copy and let Advert handle the loud parts—set big and generous, it does the shouting for your whole layout.
