Tumblr Font
What Font is Tumblr?
The Tumblr Font is based on Bookman Old Style Bold, the typeface used in the Tumblr logo. It is a bold serif typeface with rounded, heavy strokes and a friendly yet confident presence, giving the Tumblr wordmark its distinctive approachable but authoritative look. The soft curves and strong letterforms help the logo feel both classic and playful, perfectly matching Tumblr’s creative and expressive community.
Bookman Old Style Bold is a commercial font that requires a paid license for professional use. However, there is also a free alternative available that closely matches its overall shape and style, making it suitable for personal projects, fan art, and non-commercial designs.
About Tumblr
Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking platform launched in 2007 by David Karp. It blends elements of blogging, social media, and multimedia sharing, allowing users to post text, images, GIFs, videos, quotes, and links in a highly customizable format. Tumblr became widely known for its creative communities, fandom culture, and visual storytelling, especially among younger internet users.
The platform played a major role in shaping modern internet culture throughout the 2010s, influencing memes, aesthetics, and online subcultures. Its visual identity—including the bold, serif Tumblr logo—stands out in a world dominated by minimalist branding, reinforcing Tumblr’s reputation as a platform for individuality, creativity, and expressive digital culture.
