Pokémon font
The Pokémon logo is lettering drawn by hand for the games’ launch in the West in the late 1990s, not a typeface, so there is nothing to download. These free fonts have the same chunky cartoon shapes.

02 / The lettering, and your questions
01
What font does Pokémon use?
The logo used around the world was drawn by hand for the games’ Western launch in the late 1990s. Source: Fabrik Brands , Hatchwise
02
Is the Pokémon font free?
No. The logo is lettering, not a font. Fan-made copies are around, but most are free for personal use only, and copying a logo can break trademark law whatever a font’s licence says. The fonts on this page are free, free for commercial use too, under open licences.
03
How do I use these fonts in Canva?
Search Canva’s font menu for the font’s name: Canva publishes no list of its fonts, so the menu is the only way to know. If it isn’t there, Canva Pro and Teams can upload a font file: get it from the font’s page here.
On the free plan, make a PNG of your words in the comic font generator and upload it as an image.
04
And in Cricut Design Space?
Install the font on your computer from its page here: Design Space lists the fonts on your computer as system fonts. Or type your words in the comic font generator and download the SVG: its letters come welded, to cut in one piece. More in Cricut fonts.
05
Can I use them on things I sell?
The fonts, yes: every font on this page is under an open licence that allows commercial use, on shirts, signs, cards and logos. But Pokémon and its logo are someone else’s trademarks: a design that copies the logo or uses the name can still need the owner’s permission. This is a plain answer, not legal advice.
