Fink Heavy, by House Industries (Ken Barber), is the heavy slab face the sources name for the Animal Crossing title. Its licence does not let it be passed on, so this page cannot hand it out: it comes from House Industries. It is sold, so it is not ours to give away.
Skranji is close to the title: fat letters with uneven edges and a curl in the tail of the g, though its capitals are wider and its edges rougher than the logo’s. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What font is the Animal Crossing logo?
Most of Google’s first page says Fink Heavy. One result says the logo uses Rat Fink Heavy, part of House Industries’ Rat Fink collection, and a thread on the Animal Crossing wiki at Fandom says the title fonts of New Horizons and City Folk are both Fink Heavy, with Rodin Bokutoh Pro UB for the dialogue. Another result disagrees: it says the games have no single public font and that their in-game text is a custom Nintendo typeface.
Fink Heavy is a commercial font, and House Industries’ own FAQ says its fonts cannot be passed on, so it is not here to download. Skranji, by Neapolitan, is the font given here: it has fat letters and a curled g like the title’s, and its open licence allows any use. The animal crossing font here is a lookalike, not the logo’s own letters.
How the Animal Crossing title looks
The title’s letters are thick slabs with soft corners, cut a little unevenly, as if from paper. A tall capital starts each word and the tail of the g curls under. It is not all capitals, so the maker keeps your capitals and small letters as you type them.
Solid on the Logo background draws your words as cream letters on leaf green. The sources we read give no one colour for the title, so that cream and green are ours, a nod to the leaf that stands for the series, not Nintendo’s. Clear drops the ground, so the name can sit on a screenshot of your island, while Paper, Glow and Outline are for when your background is already picked.

In CapCut, put your island video on the timeline and add the picture as an overlay above it.
Shrink it to the top third of the frame, keep it for the first two or three seconds and give it an In animation so it pops in.
Add a smaller line under it in a plain sans, such as the day of your tour or a villager’s name.

Questions
What font does Animal Crossing use?
For the title, most sources say Fink Heavy, by House Industries, and the Fandom wiki gives Rodin Bokutoh Pro UB for the dialogue. One result says the in-game text is a custom Nintendo typeface, so the sources split on the speech. Skranji is the free lookalike.
Is the Animal Crossing font free?
Fink Heavy is a House Industries font under a commercial licence, and it cannot be given away, so it is not free to download here. Skranji is free to use in any project under the OFL, the Open Font License.
What is the Animal Crossing dialogue font?
The Animal Crossing wiki on Fandom names Rodin Bokutoh Pro UB for the dialogue of both New Horizons and City Folk. The maker above draws the title look, not the speech boxes.
Is there an Animal Crossing font to copy and paste?
No: Fink Heavy and Skranji are font files, and a pasted letter takes on the font of the app it lands in. Our copy and paste fonts have letters that do paste, and the maker above turns your island’s name into a picture.
Can I sell things made with the Animal Crossing font?
Words you set in Skranji may go on things you sell, as its licence allows it. Animal Crossing’s name and logo belong to Nintendo, so a product that copies them needs its permission, and Fink Heavy would need a licence from House Industries.
