About the lettering
The worm was designed by Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn and adopted in 1975 as part of a federal graphics modernization program. Its A's are drawn without crossbars, their peaked shape suggesting a rocket nose cone. NASA retired the worm in 1992 in favor of the older 'meatball' insignia, then reinstated it in 2020 as a secondary mark.
Common questions
What font is used in the NASA worm logo?
The worm is custom lettering by Danne & Blackburn (1975), not a font. Nasalization by Ray Larabie is the closest documented lookalike.
What is a free font similar to the NASA logo?
Nasalization (Typodermic Fonts, 2005) recreates the worm's rounded, crossbar-free letterforms and is free for commercial desktop use.
Why do the A's in the NASA worm have no crossbar?
The crossbar-less A was a deliberate stylization in the 1975 Danne & Blackburn design, its peaked form suggesting a rocket nose cone.
