Jujutsu Kaisen font

What we could and could not find

We looked for a statement from the publisher Shueisha, the English publisher Viz Media, the studio MAPPA or a design archive that names the lettering behind the Jujutsu Kaisen logo. We found none. Fonts In Use, the main archive of typefaces in real work, returns no results at all for Jujutsu. Until a primary source says otherwise, the honest answer is that the font is unknown.

The manga and the anime

Jujutsu Kaisen is a manga written and drawn by Gege Akutami. It ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from March 2018 to September 2024 and was collected in 30 volumes. Viz Media has published it in English in print since December 2019. MAPPA's anime adaptation began airing in October 2020. The manga follows an earlier four-chapter series by Akutami, later retitled Jujutsu Kaisen 0.

What the logo looks like

The international logo is written in narrow, hand-drawn letters that mix capitals with lowercase shapes such as the u and n with uneven, slightly wobbly strokes, black with a pale gold outline. Some letters are stretched: the J letters hook below the line and the K has a long, sweeping leg. Two short strokes sit above the E. The letters do not share a steady baseline, which adds to the drawn look.

How to get the look

Pick a brush or marker font with uneven strokes and set the words in capitals. Stretch a few letters, such as the J and K, with your design tool, and nudge letters up and down so the baseline feels loose. Add a thin pale outline around black letters. Use it for your own words, not to copy the Jujutsu Kaisen name or logo.
