About the lettering

The original title is a single piece of logo artwork: heavy, slightly uneven green capitals on a shared baseline, with the S sprouting Shrek's trumpet ears and a lowercase e tucked among the capitals. Those one-off jokes are why the logo is lettering rather than type, a font can imitate the shapes, but the ears belong to the drawing.

Common questions

What font is used in Shrek?

The title is custom DreamWorks lettering. The closest documented font is the fan-made Shrek by Kevin Wilson.

Is the Shrek font free?

Why does the Shrek S have ears?

The logo lettering gives the S Shrek's own trumpet-shaped ogre ears, a custom detail of the artwork, not part of any retail font.
