Alternate One is a narrow sans serif that Castcraft Software sold on a CD-ROM, copyrighted 1990–91, and Luc Devroye’s site tags it Sesame Street. It was never released free and no licence for it is on offer, so it is not given here. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.

Anton has tall, narrow, heavy letters like Alternate One’s, a little bolder, with small letters, numbers and accents too. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

The sources conflict with one another. One result calls the Sesame Street logo a bold, friendly sans serif, and another says Interstate Bold Compressed, from Font Bureau, is based on the title logo. Luc Devroye’s site tags a different font with Sesame Street: Alternate One, a narrow sans serif by Castcraft Software. A Reddit thread, meanwhile, asks which font the episode numbers of seasons 40 to 45 used.
Alternate One was sold on CD-ROM and never put out for free, so we don't offer it here. Anton by Vernon Adams offers the same tall, narrow build in a heavier cut, and it is free under the SIL Open Font License: Anton is the typeface shown on this page. This is an imitation, not the logo's actual typeface.
The Sesame Street sign is white letters on street-sign green, and every font people name for the title is a tall, narrow sans serif. That is the look this page draws: no edge, no glow, only the letters and the green.
Solid on the Logo background sets your words in white against the sign's green. For a Sesame Street party card, Paper switches them to dark letters on a light background, while Clear keeps only the letters so you can overlay them on a photo of your own street.
For a Sesame Street username or a bio, cute fonts has styles to copy and paste.
The sources name different fonts. A search result says the logo is a bold, friendly sans serif, and another says Interstate Bold Compressed is based on the title logo. Fonts In Use tags 660 examples with Sesame Street and lists Venus, Vogue, Windsor, GT Walsheim and Work Sans among the typefaces in them.
Anton, this page's font, can be used in any project under the SIL Open Font License at no cost. Alternate One has no licence on offer: fontmeme marks it free for personal use, yet it applies that same label to other commercial fonts as well. FontSpace lists a fan-made font named Sesame Street, released in 2007 by GorillaBlu, as free for personal and commercial use; it isn't the show's official lettering.
Yes, use the controls at the top of this page: type your words and they are drawn in white on sign green, then saved as a PNG on the Logo background, on Paper or on Clear.
Get Anton here and load it into Canva's Brand Kit, which accepts your own fonts on Canva Pro. On a free Canva account, download the picture from the maker at the top and place it in your design as an image.
The Anton license permits selling what you create with it, using your own wording. Sesame Street's name, logo and characters belong to Sesame Workshop, so don't put them on items you sell.
