The series’ title is Zuume Cut Bold Italic, by Adam Ladd, reworked with a custom H and R: condensed, leaning forward, its horizontal strokes sliced. Its license does not let it be passed on, so it is not given here: it comes from Adobe Fonts. It is sold, so it is not ours to give away.
Josefin Sans is the font Google’s AI answer names for the cover of the book: thin, upright and geometric, gentler than the TV title, with small letters, numbers and accents too. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What font is the Heated Rivalry logo?
Google’s AI overview claims the series uses a tweaked Zuume Cut Bold Italic made by Adam Ladd: a condensed, forward-slanting sans serif with sliced horizontal strokes and a custom capital H and R. A forum post names the same font. A Reddit thread describes the title as a gothic-looking font it could not match, and font.gg says the logo is set in Josefin Sans, which the AI answer gives to the cover of Rachel Reid’s 2019 novel instead.
Both can be true, as the AI answer gives the book one font and the series another. Zuume Cut is licensed through an Adobe Fonts subscription and cannot be shared, so this heated rivalry page does not offer it. Santiago Orozco created Josefin Sans, which is free under the SIL Open Font License, and it is the heated rivalry font you can download right here.
The look of the Heated Rivalry title
On screen the title is heavy and fast: condensed capitals leaning forward, their horizontal strokes sliced, with a custom H and R. Josefin Sans is the opposite, thin, upright and round, a geometric sans serif with a low x-height, so your words come out calm and airy, like the book’s cover.
The Solid option on the Logo background shows your text in white capitals on black, the way opening credits look in a dim room. Glow lights the thin strokes of Josefin Sans against a night photo, Outline keeps only a fine line for you to fill in, and Clear leaves the letters alone to lay over a clip.
Make a Heated Rivalry-style title for an edit
Enter the name of your own edit, such as the two characters it centers on, in the field at the top and save the image with Clear.
In CapCut, place the image on top of your footage as an overlay and center it in the frame.
Hold it on screen for two or three seconds at the start while the opening shot of your heated rivalry edit plays behind it.
For a subtitle beneath it, such as a date or episode number, use Josefin Sans from Canva’s Brand Kit (requires Canva Pro) in white.

Questions
What is the Heated Rivalry font called?
The series’ title is a modified Zuume Cut Bold Italic, by Adam Ladd, according to Google’s AI answer and a font forum. The cover of Rachel Reid’s book is set in Josefin Sans, which is the font given on this page.
Is the Heated Rivalry font free?
Under the SIL Open Font License, Josefin Sans can be used at no cost for both personal and paid work. Zuume Cut is not: Google’s AI answer says to get it through Adobe Fonts with a Creative Cloud subscription.
Can I use the Heated Rivalry font in Canva or CapCut?
Google’s results show no title font built into either one. Get Josefin Sans and install it through Canva’s Brand Kit, where Canva Pro shows your custom fonts, or export your text here with Clear and overlay the image onto a CapCut video.
Is there a Heated Rivalry font generator?
Yes: The field at the top renders your text in white capital letters on a dark background and exports a PNG file. It uses Josefin Sans, not the slanted TV title; Google also lists Pixelframe’s generator, which says it uses the original bold italic font.
Can I sell things made with the Heated Rivalry font?
With Josefin Sans, yes: The SIL Open Font License permits you to sell whatever you create with this font. The name Heated Rivalry and its logo stay with the book’s author and the series’ makers, so a shirt that says it needs their permission, and Zuume Cut has its own Adobe license.
