Squid Game Font Generator
What font does Squid Game use?
The Latin wordmark is custom lettering, not a typeface — geometric, very heavy, with the circle, triangle and square motif worked into it. It was drawn for the show and never released, so there is nothing official to install.
The Korean title is the more interesting half. It is set in a heavy Korean display style, and that is where the closest legitimate match comes from.
The fonts here
- Black Han Sans is a Korean display face built for exactly this kind of heavy poster lettering. It covers Latin as well as Hangul, so it works for both halves of a title, and it is the nearest thing to the show’s weight and geometry that anyone can legally hand you.
- Michroma is squared and wide, closer to the Latin wordmark’s geometry if you want the shapes rather than the weight.
Both are Open Font Licence, free for personal and commercial use.
A note on what to avoid: the most-recommended “Squid Game font” on the web is a fan font whose own licence forbids redistribution, so the sites offering it are not entitled to. It is not on this page for that reason.
Getting the shapes right
The wordmark’s signature is not really the letters, it is the three shapes — circle, triangle, square — that stand in for the guards’ masks. You can build those from any geometric font, or from plain shapes in your editor, and dropping one in place of a letter does more for recognition than the typeface choice does.
Two other details carry a lot of the look. The lettering is extremely heavy, so use the boldest weight you have and consider scaling the type up rather than adding a stroke, which thickens the counters and muddies it. And the palette is doing real work: the deep pink and teal from the guards’ jumpsuits against black reads as Squid Game even before anyone reads the words.
What people use it for

Frequently asked questions about the Squid Game Font
Is the Squid Game Font free to download?
Yes. Black Han Sans and Michroma are free to download on this page. Check each designer's terms before commercial use.
Is this the exact font used for Squid Game?
Not exactly. The original lettering was custom drawn or is not publicly licensed, so the fonts here are close recreations. Black Han Sans is the nearest match we have found.
Can I use the Squid Game Font commercially?
Treat that as two separate questions. The font file needs a licence that permits commercial use, which is set by whoever made it. Separately, the brand name, logo and characters are trademarks, so recreating a logo can infringe even with a properly licensed font. For merchandise or client work, check both.
