Movie posters are arguably a separate art form while being tied in with the movie they’re representing. They are designed to promote not only the movie itself but also represent the story’s premise. Iconic movies and posters have inspired font designers to create movie fonts inspired by their favorite films.

1. Avengeance Heroic Avenger

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will recognize this font almost instantly. It resembles Avengeance, the font Marvel Studios use for their Avengers movie titles that Michael Gene Adkins designed. The two typefaces are so similar that non-MCU fans would most likely be unable to distinguish between this and the actual font. However, Adkins’s design is sold as a commercial font, while Avengeance Heroic Avenger is a free font inspired by the movie titles.

2. Avengero

Avengero is another movie font with designs heavily inspired by Marvel Studios’ superhero team-up movie series. The font looks pretty similar to the one used by the studio, albeit shorter and chubbier. Other differences are the orientation—Avengero is straight, Adkins’s Avengeance is italic—and some features like the triangular serif below the capital ‘G’ in the original.

3. Avengeance Mightiest Avenger

This font was inspired by Marvel Studios’ lighter titles, like Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy. Unlike the above typefaces, Avengeance Mightiest Avenger depicts a more fun and comedic aspect of superhero movies. These feelings came from the fluid, playful shape of the letters. This font is for you if you want to impose a feeling of fun heroism to your design.

4. American Kestrel

American Kestrel might be inspired by Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, the next Captain America after Steve Roger entrusted his shield to Sam. Alternatively, it might be influenced by DC Comic’s Hawkman, given the wing-shaped decoration to signify capital letters. Superhero character inspirations aside, this movie font will boost your design with bold fearlessness.

5. American Captain

It is clear from the name alone which movie inspired this typeface. Every Captain America movie titles use a typeface that looks like this one. Both typefaces look bold and brave and have a strong character—much like the World War II veteran/superhero Steve Rogers—making them perfect for captivating your audience.

6. Heroes Assemble

This movie font was inspired by the line “Avengers, assemble!”. While the line has been around for quite a while in the comics, it reached moviegoers outside Marvel fandom when Captain America delivered this line during the final battle in Avengers: Endgame. Pop culture influence aside, this font is perfect if you want to enchant your viewers.

7. Ringbearer

Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic saga The Hobbit and its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, this font is a replica of the one used in the movie adaptation posters.

8. Midjungards

Fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will instantly associate this font with their favorite saga. The designer of this movie font, Robert Pfeffer, admitted that he took inspiration from Tengwar, the Elven script in Tolkien’s fantasy universe. In his description, Midjungards is “an amply fictitious Gothic hand script,” making this font a perfect choice if you want to invoke ancient and mysterious feelings in your design.

9. Greifswalder Tengwar

Another font inspired by the Elven script Tengwar, this typeface looks similar to Midjungards. However, there are several key differences. One of those differences is that Greifswalder Tengwar looks straighter, while Midjungards looks more cursive. It makes the latter feel more organic compared to Greifswalder. However, both still have mysterious, ancient, and magical feelings.

10. Harry P

From an epic saga of a medieval fantasy road trip, we’re moving to the Wizarding World born from the mind of J.K. Rowling.
