Krabby Patty

by Seil (pslehisl)

Free for personal use

Krabby Patty is a recreation of the show’s main lettering, traced from a 2001 game, and its author lists it for personal use only. That licence does not let it be passed on, so it is got from its author on dafont. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.

100% free

How to use it

iPhone and iPad

Mac

What font is the SpongeBob SquarePants logo?

Google’s answer calls the logo a custom, hand-drawn typeface made by Nickelodeon, so the real letters are not on sale. The sources disagree about “SquarePants”: one answer points to Las Vegas Jackpot, a commercial font whose Q was changed, while a forum reply says it is a House Industries Tiki font. The font people usually download is Krabby Patty, a recreation that is free for personal use only.

The Krabby Patty typeface cannot be redistributed, which is why this SpongeBob font page does not offer it. Potta One, by Font Zone 108, is: heavy, bouncy letterforms free to use in any project under the SIL Open Font License. It is a lookalike, never the show’s own font.

What the SpongeBob logo looks like

The logo is bold yellow lettering with a dark olive-green shadow, and every letter is turned a little on its own, so the name seems to hop. Both words mix capitals and small letters: SpongeBob and SquarePants each have a second capital in the middle.

Choose Solid with the Logo background to render your text in that yellow, outlined in olive against sea blue, just like the SpongeBob logo. Glow suits a dark ground, and Clear keeps only the lettering, to lay over a clip of your own.

Make a SpongeBob-style title in Canva

  1. Enter your own SpongeBob-style title in the box at the top of this page, for example a name, a holiday or a birthday.
  2. Export the image on Clear with a transparent background, so only the yellow SpongeBob letters with their olive outline remain.
  3. Open a new design in Canva, such as an Instagram Story, and upload the picture. To write inside Canva directly, upload Potta One to its Brand Kit, a feature that needs Canva Pro for custom fonts, then set the text colour to yellow.
  4. Tilt each word a few degrees, as the logo does, and give the text a dark olive Shadow effect.

Questions

What is the SpongeBob SquarePants font called?

The SpongeBob logo lettering has no official name: Google's results describe the SpongeBob logo as custom lettering by Nickelodeon. Devotees turn to Krabby Patty, a dafont rebuild of the cartoon's lettering, along with free lookalikes like Potta One, the SpongeBob font featured here.

Is the SpongeBob font free?

Per its creator's terms, Krabby Patty is only free for personal use, so this SpongeBob page does not supply it. Potta One, the SpongeBob-style alternative you can download here, is licensed for any project under the SIL Open Font License.

What font is used in SpongeBob title cards?

Each episode’s title card has its own. The fan wiki Title Card Central lists Snell Roundhand for The Great Patty Caper, Tahiti Sans for Friend or Foe and American Typewriter for The SquarePants Method, among others. None of them is the logo’s lettering.

Can I copy and paste a SpongeBob font?

Not the logo’s letters: copy-and-paste fonts are Unicode characters, and none is drawn like SpongeBob’s. For bubbly or bold text to paste into a caption, see our copy and paste fonts; for the yellow look itself, type your words at the top of this page and save the picture.

Can I sell things made with a SpongeBob-style font?

Potta One’s licence allows it, but SpongeBob’s name, logo and characters belong to Nickelodeon, so keep them off anything you sell. Krabby Patty’s author lists it for personal use only, so it is not for products.

Not affiliated with Nickelodeon. Names and logos belong to their owners.
