Sesame Street Font
What Font is Sesame Street?
The Sesame Street font most closely associated with the show’s wordmark is Interstate Bold Compressed, designed by Tobias Frere-Jones. This clean, friendly, and highly legible typeface supports the show’s educational purpose while remaining bold and approachable for young audiences. Interstate is a commercial font, but there are free alternative fonts available that closely resemble its condensed, straightforward style, making it easier to recreate a similar look for personal projects.
