How it works

This 90s font generator sets your line in Boogaloo with a purple long shadow, riding a wave on sky blue. Eight faces cover three looks of the decade: cartoon lettering, marker grunge and the rainbow arch of office word art.

Read the full guide

Three nineties, eight faces

Cartoon: Boogaloo, Chewy and Bungee Shade, which has capitals only and a block shadow of its own. Grunge: Permanent Marker and Rock Salt, both written in capitals, and Rubik Distressed, heavy letters worn full of holes. Office: Archivo Black and Comic Neue.

The word-art arch

Set Look to Rainbow and Shape to Arch: a rainbow runs left to right across bent letters. Halftone dots fills the letters with print dots. 3D block and Long shadow push them off the page.

  • A curve takes one line of up to 60 characters. For two lines, set Shape to Straight.
  • Neon cyan and Neon pink are pale inks made for Night blue. On Sky blue they fade out.

Questions and answers

Is a 90's font generator the same as a Y2K one?

No. This page is the decade before: daylight colors, marker and cartoon faces, long shadows. The Y2K font generator is the 2000s look, holographic bubbles and chrome.

Which face is closest to a cartoon title?

Boogaloo or Chewy: rounded brush-pen letters with uneven strokes. Bungee Shade is the sign version, square capitals with a built-in shadow.

What can I save?

A PNG or an SVG, or a print. Every background here is a color. For letters with nothing behind them, use the transparent text generator.
