Where the Tungsten answer comes from
Creative Bloq covered Game Font Library, a database run by Charlotte Couderc, a lead UI artist on Microsoft Flight Simulator. The article says the library lists only official fonts named by the developers, not recreations, and that she contacts UI artists herself to check them. Among its examples, it says Valorant uses Tungsten.

Oswald

Regular · Latin specimen
A free condensed sans that the official site uses for its Russian-language headings. It is a little rounder and less compact than Tungsten, but gives the same tall, narrow headline feel.

Bebas Neue

Regular · Latin specimen
Condensed capitals with a clean, plain build. It has a single weight and no lowercase, so use it for short titles only.

Chakra Petch

Regular · Latin specimen
A squarish sans with clipped corners. It is wider than Tungsten, but its cut angles come closer to the spirit of the VALORANT logo.
View fontMain and secondary fonts
The Valorant entry on Game Font Library has a main font and a secondary font, each with a link to buy it. The main font links to Tungsten by Hoefler&Co. The secondary font links to DIN Next by Monotype. The entry does not cover the VALORANT logo, and it does not name the UI artists.
Evidence for this attribution ↓Tungsten on the official site
The official Valorant website loads Tungsten too. We checked its stylesheet on 10 November 2026: the large display headings are set in Tungsten Bold, with Riot Sans as the fallback. Oswald replaces Tungsten on the Russian-language pages, and Anton on the Vietnamese pages.
Evidence for this attribution ↓How to get the look
Set short words in tall, condensed, bold capitals and keep the spacing tight. Use off-white on a dark background, or dark text on Valorant's red. For the logo style, cut strokes at sharp angles and leave the crossbar out of the A. With free fonts, Oswald Bold is the closest body match, and Chakra Petch gives the clipped corners.
Common questions
Is the Valorant font free?
No. Tungsten is a paid font from Hoefler&Co, sold on MyFonts. For a free option, Oswald is the closest match, and the official site itself uses it for its Russian-language headings.
What font is the Valorant logo?
No reliable source names one. The VALORANT wordmark has sharp, angled cuts and A's without crossbars, which suggests drawn letters rather than a typed font. Fan-made fonts exist, but they are not official.
What font does the Valorant UI use?
Game Font Library lists Tungsten as the main font and DIN Next by Monotype as the secondary font. It does not say which screens use each one.
Who designed Tungsten?
MyFonts credits Tobias Frere-Jones with Jonathan Hoefler, published by Hoefler & Co. The family has four widths, regular, Narrow, Condensed and Compressed, each in eight weights.
