The “Impact Font” is a bold typeface that is easily recognizable and has a robust and vigorous appearance. A strong and commanding appearance is given to the letters of the font by making use of a thick, heavy stroking while at the same time using relatively tight spacing between characters. Generally, it is used for headlines, titles, or any place where text must stand out.
First designed in 1965 by Geoffrey Lee, Impact Font has become quite popular because of its use to grab attention and deliver messages with authority. Its solid letter forms and bolder weight make it highly legible even at small sizes, while text set in Impact stands up to most backgrounds or competing elements.

The Impact Font is well used in many designs, which include posters, banners, memes, and advertisements. Its look is severe and straightforward, and its simplicity can be relevant for either the communication of emergency information or important messages to be passed across and even in making highly noticeable graphic designs.
With its overwhelming omnipresence in the world, the Impact Typeface has also stirred a bit of criticism concerning amateur design on the one hand and overuse on the other. Nevertheless, for those designers who want to note emphasis and boldness in their compositions, this kind of font is perfect to be used appropriately.
I hope you love using this font as much as I do! If you need help installing fonts, check out these guides: Microsoft’s article for Windows users and Apple’s article for Mac users.
