Alien Resurrection, by Jens R. Ziehn, copies the title of the film: wide capitals with a roof for the A and bars for the E. Its licence is free for personal use only and does not let it be passed on, so it is got from its page on FontSpace. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.

Rubik Mono One has the same wide, heavy capitals, though its A has a crossbar where the Alien title’s is a bare roof. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What the font has, before you download it.
Open the file in a font app from the App Store and install it. Then pick it in Pages, Keynote or Procreate.
Unzip the file, right-click the .ttf and choose Install. It shows up in Word, Photoshop and Cricut Design Space.
Unzip the file, double-click the .ttf and press Install.
In Brand Kit, choose Upload a font and pick the .ttf. Uploading fonts needs Canva Pro.
Install the font on your computer first, then restart Design Space: it is under System fonts.
They take no fonts. Save your words as a picture at the top of this page and add it as a sticker.
There is no single answer. A Reddit thread on r/LV426 names Microgramma, the sci-fi face by Aldo Novarese and Alessandro Butti, as the one tied to the Alien films, while another result on Google’s first page says the 1979 title sequence is set in Helvetica Black, not a customized Futura. The title of Alien Resurrection is a different drawing again: a bare roof for the A and an E made of three flat bars, copied in a font by Jens R. Ziehn.
That copy is free for personal use only and may not be passed on, so we do not give it. We give Rubik Mono One, by Hubert and Fischer: wide, heavy capitals like the title’s, and its licence, the SIL Open Font License, lets anyone use it on any project.
ALIEN is set wide and flat. Its A is a bare roof with no crossbar, its E is three long bars with no spine, its I a plain block and its N a squared arch, all of one height and all heavy.
Solid on the Logo background draws your words in white on black, wide across the frame like a title card in a dark cinema. Outline keeps only the edges of the letters over a backdrop you choose, and Glow lights them softly, like a console screen in the dark.

Sources differ: a Reddit thread names Microgramma, another result says the 1979 title sequence is Helvetica Black, and the Alien Resurrection title is copied in a font by Jens R. Ziehn. For the same wide, heavy capitals for free, this page gives Rubik Mono One.
Rubik Mono One is free to use on any project, as its SIL Open Font License allows. Alien Resurrection on FontSpace is free for personal use only, and its page says to contact the designer for a commercial licence.
Alien Resurrection is not on dafont: it is on FontSpace. Dafont’s Alien category holds other fonts, such as Alienator by Cosmonaut Fonts.
Alien alphabets on sites such as TextKits and InstaFonts swap each letter for a symbol, and TextKits says itself that they do not translate a real language. For text you can paste anywhere, see copy and paste fonts; this page draws your words as a picture in the look of the Alien title.
Yes, in Rubik Mono One: the SIL Open Font License lets you sell work that uses it. The name Alien and its logo belong to 20th Century Studios, so a shirt that carries them is not yours to sell, and Alien Resurrection is for personal use only.
