$ About Oswald

Oswald is a display typeface designed by Vernon Adams, available for free on Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License. It comes with 6 weights (from ExtraLight (200) to Bold (700)), making it highly versatile across different design contexts.

As a display font, Oswald is designed to make an impact at large sizes. It's built for headlines, hero sections, and anywhere you need to grab attention. Display fonts sacrifice small-size readability for maximum visual personality at scale.

For App Store and Google Play screenshots, Oswald can be used as a heading font to create visual hierarchy — pair it with a clean sans-serif like Inter or Open Sans for body text. The key is consistency: use the same font across all your screenshots so the set reads as one cohesive design.
