Geoparody Heavy is Ray Larabie’s 2024 redraw of his Gyparody, a lookalike of the Jeopardy! logo made at Typodermic Fonts. Its licence does not cover passing the file on or putting it on a website, so it is not given here: get it from Typodermic or dafont. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.
Passion One is the closest free match for the heavy, compact capitals of Geoparody Heavy, and it has small letters, numbers and accents too. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What font is the Jeopardy logo?
The Jeopardy! logo is custom lettering, so there is no font of that name to install. Google’s answer to this search says the lettering is closely mimicked by Geoparody, also spelled Gyparody, a free fan-made font by Ray Larabie of Typodermic Fonts. The same answer lists other fonts for the show: ITC Korinna on the clue cards, and Swiss 911, a Helvetica variant, for the categories and dollar amounts.
Geoparody Heavy cannot be given here, because its licence does not cover passing the file on. Passion One, by Fontstage, can: its capitals are heavy and compact with rounded corners, much like the Jeopardy! letters, and its SIL Open Font License covers every kind of project.
The Jeopardy look
Jeopardy! is written in heavy capitals and closed by an exclamation mark, on the deep blue of the game board. Down the board, the dollar amounts are gold and the clues are white.
Choose the Logo background with Solid and your words stand in white capitals on board blue, like the title and a clue. Glow suits a trivia poster for the evening, Outline a thumbnail over a photo, and Paper a printed answer sheet.
Make a Jeopardy board in Canva
Type a category such as “Science” or “Final Jeopardy” in the box above, pick the blue Logo background and save the picture.
In Canva, start a presentation, fill the page with board blue and draw six columns, one for each category, with five rows of squares under them for the clues.
Canva Pro lets you upload fonts to its Brand Kit: add Passion One there, then put a gold dollar amount in each square, from $200 to $1,000.
Give each clue a page of its own and link its square to it, so a click opens the clue when you present.

Questions
What is the Jeopardy font called?
The logo is custom lettering with no name of its own. Geoparody, also spelled Gyparody, is the font Google’s answer names as its lookalike, and Passion One is the free one given on this page.
Is the Jeopardy font free?
Passion One, the font given here, costs nothing, and its SIL Open Font License covers any project, paid ones too. Geoparody Heavy is labeled free for personal use on dafont, and Typodermic’s note allows commercial use of finished work but not putting the font on a website or passing the file on.
What font do the Jeopardy clue cards use?
Google’s answer lists ITC Korinna, a serif, for the clue cards, Swiss 911 for the categories and dollar amounts, and either Square 721 or Steile Futura Bold for the Daily Double screen. None of them is given here.
How do I get the Jeopardy font in Canva?
Download Passion One here and upload it to the Brand Kit, a Canva Pro feature. Without Pro, save a picture from the box above and drop it into your design.
Can I sell things made with the Jeopardy font?
Yes for the letters: a mug or a poster set in Passion One may be sold, as its open licence allows. Sony Pictures Television owns the Jeopardy! name and logo, so a product that says Jeopardy! or copies the logo needs its permission.
