About the lettering

Logo references for the series identify the title as Trajan Pro with bespoke adjustments rather than a custom-drawn alphabet. The modifications are small but deliberate: extra hairlines inside the O, an extended T crossbar, and a hierarchy that makes Game and Thrones dominate the small word Of. The result reads as carved stone, matching the show's medieval world while staying close enough to Trajan that the font is recognizable at a glance.

Common questions

What font is used in the Game of Thrones title?

The title is based on Trajan Pro by Carol Twombly (Adobe, 1989), with custom details such as the three lines inside the O and an extended T crossbar.

Is the Game of Thrones font free?

Trajan Pro is a commercial Adobe font. A fan-made font named Game of Thrones by Charlie Samways recreates the logo lettering and is free for personal use.

Why does the Game of Thrones logo look like Roman carving?

Trajan is modelled on the inscriptional capitals at the base of Trajan's Column in Rome, which gives the title its carved-stone, epic feel.
