The Scratch Font is the font used in the Scratch Logo and all associated indicia.
The font was included with versions of Scratch prior to Scratch 1.3. It is also available in Scratch 2.0.

This font was not by the Scratch Team, it was actually created by a non-Scratch user called, “pizzadude” under a different name.

I contacted pizzadude and he said MIT purchased the rights to the font a while back, that's how come they can trademark it.

Scratch is non-profit and based in the US so it is fair use!

Look out!

Judging from some information, maybe Scratch Font is Black boys on mopeds Font by pizzadude(Jakob Fischer).

It's very possible that ST legally licensed all these fonts.

@myeducate says that when contacted, pizzadude said that MIT had the rights to one of his fonts. When I looked on his Dafont page, this was the only thing I could find even remotely close to the Scratch font; in fact, it looked exactly like it. So, I wouldn't say that it's a possible match, I'd say it's a 100% complete match.

Hey there! I don't use this account anymore. You can find me over at @Scratch137.

Please don't necropost. This has been inactive for over 6 years, and just saying “hi” without even adding anything to the discussion is unhelpful.

Forum tips:
Don't title topics something like “HELP ME!!!”. It's not helpful, and won't get you as many responses.
Don't post in topics where the latest post is over ~2 months old, unless you have something critical to add. Especially in topics that are several years old- it isn't helpful, and is known as necroposting.
Don't post unrelated things in topics, including questions of your own. Make a new topic for your questions.
You can use the

 [code] and [/code]

tags to show other users how to format something that Scratch would otherwise format.
You can use the

 [color=color name or hexadecimal value here] and [/color]

tags to color text.
