The Boys Font

About The font

Sometimes, a font gets more acknowledgement and appreciation when being used somewhere than being individual. In this article, we are going to discuss one such font, The Boys font.

The Boys font is a bit different from other straight fonts. It looks eroded, meaning damaged or exhausted. If you look closely, you will see tiniest holes in some of the glyphs of this font, as if they are pierced.

‘The Boys’ is not the original name of the typeface. Rather, it is Charlie Don’t Surf! font developed by junkohanhero. It was used in the logo of the American superhero OTT series The Boys. The series has become so popular that the font used here is known by the series’ name rather than its own name.

The makers of the TV series slightly modified the original CDS font. Thus, The Boys font became different from the Charlie Don’t Surf! Font. The font features all uppercase English letters. In addition, it includes numbers, special characters, and basic Latin characters.
