What font is Stranger Things?
The Stranger Things title is set in ITC Benguiat Bold Condensed, a typeface Ed Benguiat drew for the International Typeface Corporation in 1977. Its serifs curl softly and its small letters are short, so the capitals seem to stand taller than they are.
ITC Benguiat is not free: Monotype sells it. The font you can download here is a free one from the same decade of soft serifs, and the maker at the top of the page draws your words in the show’s look with it.
How the title is put together
STRANGER sits on top, its S and its R bigger than the letters between them, with a bar running from one to the other. THINGS sits under it, smaller, between two bars of its own.
The letters are outlines of red light on black, soft at the edges like a neon tube. Glow does the same with your words; Outline and Solid are for a picture on a ground of your own.
Make the Stranger Things look in Canva
- Download the font on this page and upload it in Canva’s Brand Kit: uploading fonts needs Canva Pro.
- Type your words in capitals, set them in the font and make them red.
- Make the first and the last letter bigger, and draw a thin red line between them.
- Add Effects, then Neon, and put it all on a black page.
Where people use it

- Halloween posters and name tags for a costume
- Thumbnails and titles of TikTok and YouTube edits
- Covers of school projects and book reports
- Phone wallpapers with a name or a date
Questions
What is the Stranger Things alphabet font?
ITC Benguiat in its bold condensed weight: every letter of the title comes from it, and the rest is layout and red light.
Is the Stranger Things font free?
The original is not: Monotype sells ITC Benguiat. The lookalike given here is free, and so is every picture you make on this page.
Can I sell shirts with it?
With the free font, yes: its licence lets you sell what you make. The show’s name and its logo belong to Netflix, so keep them off anything you sell.
How do I get the Stranger Things font on Instagram or TikTok?
Neither app takes fonts. Make your words at the top of this page, save the picture and add it to your story or video as a sticker from your photos.
Why does the free font look a little different from the show?
It is a lookalike, not ITC Benguiat itself. For the exact letters of the title, buy the original from Monotype.
