Where the Neuland answer comes from
The magazine of the design agency Grapheine told the story of the logo in 2019. Creative director Tom Martin led the search for a logo and brought in Mike Salisbury. Between the internal team and Salisbury's group, more than 100 logos were made. Concept artist Sandy Collora put the dinosaur in a circle with the title in a band below it. Grapheine says the typeface is Neuland, by Rudolf Koch, which Salisbury redesigned in his own way.

Anton

Regular · Latin specimen
Tall, heavy, condensed capitals with the same narrow, upright stance as the logo. Its strokes are smooth and even, so you lose the hand-cut feel and need to add the inline line yourself.

Bebas Neue

Regular · Latin specimen
A clean, all-caps condensed sans that matches the narrow proportions but is lighter and much more regular than the logo. Bebas Neue has one weight, so it works best large with an added inline or outline.

Fonts In Use, an archive of typefaces in real work, mentions the logo in its 2014 entry on the Jurassic World teaser trailer. Stephen Coles writes that the typographic source of the franchise's logo lettering is not clear, but that it is probably derived from Neuland licht, the inline style of Neuland, which is sold digitally as Nueland Inline. So the Neuland link is widely made, but the exact starting point is not confirmed.
Evidence for this attribution ↓About Neuland
Fonts In Use says Rudolf Koch designed Neuland in 1923 for the Gebr. Klingspor foundry, and that an inline version followed in 1928. It lists several digital versions, including URW Nueland, which includes the inline style, P22 Koch Neuland, Linotype's Neuland Star and the 2023 revival Koch Grotesk from Poem. Any of these is a starting point, but none is the logo itself.
Evidence for this attribution ↓How to get the look
The title uses tall, narrow capitals with slightly flared, uneven strokes, and a thin line runs inside each stroke like an inline. Set the words tight, then add the inline yourself, for example by drawing an inner stroke in a contrasting colour. With free fonts, Anton gives the tall, narrow capitals and Bebas Neue a lighter, cleaner version, but neither has Neuland's hand-cut shapes or the inline.
Common questions
Is the Jurassic Park font free?
The logo itself is drawn lettering, not a font you can download. Digital versions of Neuland come from commercial type foundries, not Google Fonts. Fan-made fonts exist, but they are not official. For a free option, try Anton.
What font is used for Jurassic World?
For the 2014 Jurassic World teaser trailer, Fonts In Use lists Decotura Inline for the titles. The same entry says the franchise's logo lettering is probably derived from Neuland's inline style.
Who drew the dinosaur in the Jurassic Park logo?
Chip Kidd, who drew the T. rex skeleton for the cover of Michael Crichton's 1990 novel. Grapheine says the film's logo was built on that drawing.
