Black Boys on Mopeds is a hand-drawn marker font by Jakob Fischer (Pizzadude), with a tall capital S and round small letters. Its file says not to pass it on without his permission, so it is not given here: you get it from its author on dafont, free for personal use only. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.
Bubblegum Sans has the same round, hand-drawn letters and a big, friendly S, with capitals, small letters and numbers. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What font is the Scratch logo?
The first Google result for this query names no typeface for the Scratch logo, and none of the sources we read say it is a font you can install. The wordmark is a capital S followed by small, round letters, and it looks hand-lettered. The search itself is split: people after the logo of Scratch, the coding tool from the MIT Media Lab, people after a scratched, grunge-style font, and people after a font that happens to be called Scratch, by Sir Speedy on dafont.
The nearest match to the wordmark we could find is Black Boys on Mopeds, a hand-drawn typeface by Jakob Fischer. It is free for personal use only, so we do not offer it here. Sudtipos made Bubblegum Sans, another rounded hand-drawn face, and it ships free under the SIL Open Font License: This is the typeface this page is built around.
The Scratch look
The Scratch wordmark is white lettering on purple, the same shade as the top bar of the Scratch editor. The cat that goes with it is orange, and the lettering beside it is soft and a little uneven, never sharp.
Choosing Solid on the Logo background renders your text this way, white on Scratch purple. Clear saves only the letters, with nothing behind them, to lay over a backdrop in your project; Paper puts them on a plain page for a cover.
Make a title for your Scratch project
Enter the title of your own game or animation at the top of this page, then save the image on the Logo background.
In Canva, make a 16:9 design and drop the picture on it, with a screenshot of your Scratch stage beside it. In CapCut, lay it over the start of your screen recording.
Place a short white caption beneath it, for example “Made in Scratch” or the level number.
Download Bubblegum Sans here and use it for any other words on the cover, so the whole design matches.

Questions
Can you import fonts to Scratch?
Not directly: the text tool in the Scratch editor has a short list of fonts, which Google’s answer counts as nine. A picture skips that limit: Put your text in the field at the top of this page, save it on Clear, and add the image to your project as a costume.
What is the Scratch Cat font?
The Scratch Cat is a drawn character, not a typeface, and nothing we read names a font for the wordmark beside it. Bubblegum Sans offers a free alternative with the same rounded, hand-drawn character.
Is the Scratch font free?
Bubblegum Sans, the typeface on this page, can be used in any project free of charge under the SIL Open Font License. Black Boys on Mopeds, the nearest typeface to the wordmark we found, is free for personal use only, and Jakob Fischer asks to be contacted about any commercial use.
Can I sell things made with a Scratch-style font?
Yes, with Bubblegum Sans: Its licence covers anything you sell. The Scratch name, the cat and the logo stay the Scratch Foundation’s, so sell your own words, not theirs.
Is there a Scratch font text generator?
The generator at the top of this page produces your lettering in white on Scratch purple as an image you can save. It is a picture, not copy and paste text, which is why it can be uploaded to a Scratch project as a costume.
