Cour Thumbnail Font

Cour is a bold display typeface delivered as a single TTF file, sized at just 0.7 MB so it installs instantly and adds no bloat to your design workflow. It comes from a curated thumbnail font pack, meaning it was chosen for one job: making text pop in crowded feeds. The letterforms are heavy and tightly spaced, which is exactly what you want when a thumbnail is viewed at 320x180 pixels on a phone. Big, chunky strokes hold their shape when scaled down, so your title text stays legible instead of turning into a grey smear. Use it for YouTube thumbnail headlines, Shorts and Reels cover text, Twitch panels, and social ad creatives. Pair it with a contrasting lighter font for subtitles, or use it alone with a strong outline and drop shadow for maximum click-through contrast.

How to use this resource

Install the TTF by double-clicking it and choosing Install (Windows) or dragging it into Font Book (macOS), then restart your editor so it appears in the font list. In Photoshop, Premiere Pro, or Canva, select Cour for your headline layer and scale it large with a stroke or drop shadow for thumbnail contrast.
