# Pac-Man Font: What the Logo Uses + Free Lookalikes

## Short answer

The Pac-Man logo is custom lettering, not a font you can install.

The sources say this indirectly: Namco artist Tadashi Yamashita created the original Puck Man artwork; his designs include the cabinet marquee and the logo.

## What the Lettering Looks Like

Fat, rounded geometric letters in yellow with a heavy dark outline, packed tightly together with a short hyphen between PAC and MAN.

## Free Open Lookalikes

Chosen by eye from the style hubs for a similar feel; not a measured match.
