Obtuse2 Font

Obtuse2 is a display typeface supplied as a single TTF file, part of a thumbnail-focused font pack. Its heavy, high-impact letterforms are designed to stay readable at small sizes, which makes it a strong pick for YouTube thumbnails, video titles, and social media graphics. Because it is a standard TrueType file, it installs on Windows and macOS and becomes available across your design and editing apps. That means the same font can be used for a thumbnail in Photoshop, a lower third in Premiere Pro, or a title card in After Effects without any conversion. Use it for short, punchy words rather than long paragraphs. Pair it with a clean sans serif for supporting text, and add a subtle outline or drop shadow to keep it legible over busy video frames.

How to use this resource

Install the TTF by double-clicking it and choosing Install (Windows) or Add Font (macOS), then restart your editing or design app. Select Obtuse2 from the font menu and apply it to your title or thumbnail text layer. Keep headlines short and add a stroke or shadow for contrast against video backgrounds.
