They take no fonts. Save your words as a picture at the top of this page and add it as a sticker.
The pages we read do not agree on one font for the Death Note title. FontGet lists a Death Note font by FG Studios for personal use, another site lists DEATHNOTE as personal use too, and dafont carries Death Font by joshua1985, marked 100% Free. None of them says who drew the title itself.
Those fonts are not given here, because their licenses do not let us pass them on. Metal Mania, created by Open Window, offers that same coarse capital look with pointed serifs and costs nothing for any project under the SIL Open Font License: this Death Note font page uses it as a stand-in, not the show's actual typeface.
The title is all capitals: narrow, tall and rough at the edges, with sharp serifs. The notebook in the series is black, with its name in white on the cover.
With Solid selected on the Logo backdrop, your text appears in white on black, matching that cover's palette. Outline renders hollow characters suited to a poster, while Clear keeps just the white lettering for overlaying a photo or dark footage.
L’s logo is a single old English letter, so old English font is the page to open for that look.
No single font you can install is named for the title. FontGet lists one by FG Studios, dafont carries Death Font by joshua1985, and neither says who drew the logo. Among free options, Metal Mania comes nearest to the coarse capitals used on this Death Note font page.
A Reddit thread on it describes L’s logo as old English lettering, and people ask where to copy it for a bio. The maker here draws rough serif capitals, not blackletter, so for the old English look open old English font.
Here Metal Mania is offered at no charge for any project, governed by the SIL Open Font License. Death Font on dafont is marked 100% Free but comes with no word from its author, and FontGet’s Death Note font is for personal use, so neither is given.
Enter your text into the generator at the page top, then export it as an image: white capitals on black, ready for a cover or an edit. A picture cannot be pasted into a bio as text; for letters you can paste, see copy and paste fonts.
