15 Best Free Disney Fonts You Should Have in Your Collection
Disney is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Whether it’s through their animated features, theme parks, Marvel movies, Star Wars films or their many video games, Disney is known to everyone around the globe. Their presence has had a viable and undeniable impact around the world, and mere mention brings feelings of joy to a lot of people.
Their impact is so powerful that they even influence the thriving world of design. One of the areas that they have affected is the typography culture.
Before Anything Else, What is Disney Typography?
Disney fonts are typographic font types that take inspiration from Disney and its many brands, products and merchandises. If you have noticed, there are always two distinct type sets when it comes to a Disney feature. First, there’s the classic Disney logo, with the thick letters, the large and unmistakable,’ followed by other letters that convey both fun and a certain kind of stylishness that’s not found in any other typeset. It’s one of the most recognizable font styles around.
Then, of course, there’s the title of the actual film or television show, letters that reflect the characters, story and overall look and feel of what it represents. Think about the opening credits of films like Tangled, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Hercules or The Little Mermaid. They all have their own individual fonts.
Here are Some Famous Disneyesque Fonts:
There are a lot of Disney fonts available. These free fonts can be used in Word, Powerpoint, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Sketch, and any other editor you can think of. Here are several of the best free Disney fonts that every designer and typesetter should keep in their typographical toolbox:
Mouse Memoir Font
The Mouse Memoir Disney font takes inspiration from the original character and cartoon that made Disney a household name: Mickey Mouse. At the same time, it draws inspiration from the other animated series of the 1950’s, from Steamboat Willie, Donald Duck, Goofy and even the Uncle Scrooge comic books.
Mouse Memoirs is characterized by its bold but whimsical design. This is ideal for light-hearted works, like picture books, illustration books or even invitations for a children’s party.

Escape (with Envato Elements)
Escape is a typeface that manages to be both menacing and cute. There’s something in the hard, rugged serifs that makes one think of Walt Disney’s Snow White’s run through the dark forest. If you’re looking for a dark, murky and frightening (yet still cartoonish), Escape is a pretty solid choice.
Malefic Font
Maleficent is one of the first great villains of the Disney animated movies, and it’s only right that she gets her own Disney font. The Malefic font is elegant, thin but sharp and powerful as the character it takes its name from.
