The Spotify wordmark is Spotify’s own lettering: heavy, round letters with a capital S. The app’s text is set in Spotify Mix, a separate typeface that Spotify does not license to anyone. It was made for the brand alone: no one sells it or gives it away.

What font does Spotify use?
Spotify’s app and ads use Spotify Mix, a variable sans serif made with the Berlin type foundry Dinamo and introduced in 2024. Before it came Circular, a customized version of Laurenz Brunner’s typeface, and in the early years Proxima Nova and Gotham. Some 2025 articles still name Circular as the current font, so the sources do not agree on when the switch happened.
Spotify Mix and Circular are Spotify’s own and are not for sale or download. Sources tie the Spotify wordmark to Gotham, and Montserrat Bold, by Julieta Ulanovsky and the Montserrat Project Authors, is the font given here: free under the SIL Open Font License, a lookalike and not Spotify’s own.
The Spotify look
The Spotify wordmark is a heavy geometric sans with a capital S and round small letters, no serifs and no outline. Its circle icon is green with three curved lines across it, and the whole brand stands on that bright green against black.
Solid on the Logo background draws your words in Spotify green on near-black, with your capitals and small letters as you type them. Glow gives a playlist title the light of a late-night screen, and Clear keeps only the green letters to lay over an album photo.
Make a Spotify playlist cover in Canva
Type your playlist’s name in the maker at the top and save the picture on Clear, so the green letters stand alone with nothing behind them.
Start a square design in Canva and put a photo or a color gradient in it that fits the mood of the playlist.
Place the saved title on top and make it big enough to read at the small size a playlist cover shows on a phone.
Download the square as a PNG, then open your playlist in the Spotify app, choose Edit and change the image.
