Not for sale

The Starbucks logo is custom lettering, not a font you can install, so there is no file to pass on here. The brand’s own typeface, SoDo Sans, is made for Starbucks and is not offered for download. It was made for the brand alone: no one sells it or gives it away.

What font is the Starbucks logo?

The sources are not entirely in agreement. Google’s AI answer says Starbucks uses a custom sans-serif called SoDo Sans, made by the design firm Lettermatic, for its branding and body copy. One dafont forum thread states the logo is itself custom lettering, with Freight Sans Black the nearest of the proposed options.

Neither of those is given here. Montserrat is available at no cost under the SIL Open Font License and is one of the look-alikes listed in Google’s results. This Starbucks font is the one used on this page, including small letters, numbers and accented characters.

How the Starbucks look is built

The Starbucks logo is white capitals set round a green circle, with the siren in the middle. The green is a flat, deep tone, and the letters carry neither an outline nor a shadow.

The Solid style on the Logo background produces your words in that manner: white capitals on Starbucks green. Outline and Glow work well on a background of your choosing, while Paper gives a cream card resembling a paper cup sleeve.

Make a Starbucks-style title in Canva

  1. Get Montserrat from this page and upload it to Canva’s Brand Kit, which accepts your own fonts with Canva Pro.
  2. Create a green circle or square and place your words over it in white capitals.
  3. Set the letter spacing a little wide, the way the logo’s ring of text is spaced.
  4. Add a shorter line beneath, like a name or a date, set in the same typeface.
