The TikTok wordmark is TikTok’s own: bold, round letters with a capital T at the start of each half. The app’s text is set in a separate typeface, TikTok Sans. It was made for the brand alone: no one sells it or gives it away.

What font does TikTok use?
Google’s answer to this search names TikTok Sans as TikTok’s official font: an open-source variable typeface, free on Google Fonts, released under SIL Open Font License 1.1. It has 14 styles, axes for weight, width, slant and optical size, and covers more than 460 languages in Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.
No source we read names a font for the TikTok wordmark itself. The font given here is Montserrat SemiBold, by Julieta Ulanovsky and the Montserrat Project Authors. The font site font.gg files it under TikTok, its round, even letters sit close to the wordmark’s, and it is licensed free under SIL Open Font License 1.1. It is not TikTok’s own font.
The TikTok look
The wordmark is bold, round letters with a capital T at the start of each half, shown in white on black or black on white. Beside it, TikTok’s music note is drawn in white with a cyan #25F4EE edge on one side and a red #FE2C55 edge on the other.
Solid on the Logo background draws your words in white on TikTok black, as the wordmark appears in the app. Clear keeps only the white letters to lay over a clip, and Glow adds a soft light close to the Neon text style in TikTok’s editor.
Add TikTok-style text to a CapCut video
Type your caption in the box above, then pick Solid on Clear, so the white letters stand alone with nothing behind them.
Save the picture. It is a PNG with a clear background, so the letters keep their edges over any footage.
In CapCut, open your clip, tap Overlay, then Add overlay, and choose the PNG. Pinch it to the size you want.
Keep the text in the middle of the frame, away from the buttons on TikTok’s right side and the caption at its bottom.
Where people use it
TikTok bios and captions take no bold or cursive of their own, so for text to paste there, our copy and paste fonts work in one tap.

Questions
What font style does TikTok use?
Google’s answer says TikTok Sans, a free open-source typeface on Google Fonts. TikTok’s video editor also offers its own text styles: Classic, Handwriting, Typewriter, Serif and Neon.
Is the TikTok font free?
TikTok Sans is open source, so it is free, and Google Fonts lists it. Montserrat SemiBold, given here, is open source too and free for your videos, prints and posts.
Can you add fonts on TikTok?
TikTok’s editor lists built-in text styles, and its bio and captions have no bold or cursive. For a look of your own, save your words here as a picture and add it to your video as an overlay.
Is there a TikTok font generator?
Two kinds. Unicode tools turn letters into special symbols you can paste into a bio, like our copy and paste fonts. The maker above draws your words as a picture in the TikTok look.
Can I sell things made with the TikTok font?
Montserrat’s licence allows it on things you sell, such as prints or video titles. The TikTok name, the wordmark and the music note stay TikTok’s, so keep them off shirts and mugs.
