GenBasB Thumbnail Font

GenBasB is a bold display font supplied as a TTF file, designed for thumbnail and social media headline text. Its heavy, clean letterforms stay readable at small sizes, which is exactly what you need when a title has to compete for attention in a crowded feed. The font installs like any standard TTF, so it works across Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Canva, Figma and most other design or editing tools. Use it for YouTube thumbnails, video titles, lower thirds, cover images and promo graphics where the text needs to hit hard. Because it is a single lightweight file (about 0.3 MB), it is easy to add to a thumbnail pack or template workflow without slowing anything down. Pair it with a strong outline, drop shadow or stroke to push contrast even further.

How to use this resource

Install the TTF by double-clicking it and choosing Install, then restart your editing or design app. Select GenBasB in your text tool and type your headline, keeping it short and high-contrast. Add a stroke or drop shadow to make the text stand out against busy thumbnail backgrounds.
