The rounded letters are wrapped in a tangled mess of wires (hence the name), which makes them look like they’ve been plugged into the virtual reality world. You can add colors to the letters to decorate the design. Despite the elaborate design, the font is highly readable even at small sizes and looks great on dark and light backgrounds.
5. Andoria
Andoria is a cosmic sci-fi typeface that’s very cinematic. It’d work well on movie title screens as well as many other creative projects. It features a minimalist, geometric design.

Tips for Choosing the Best SciFi Fonts
As you can see, there are lots of great Sci-Fi fonts out there to choose from—so where do you start? Here are some questions to think about when you’re choosing between the best SciFi fonts.
There are lots of sub-genres within the wider genre of Sci-Fi. There’s hard science fiction, soft science fiction, dystopian fiction, steampunk… I could go on. The font you choose should match the sub-genre of your project.
For example, if you’re working on a book cover for a novel about an alien invasion, you might choose a futuristic typeface with an other-worldly aesthetic. On the other hand, a retrofuturistic font might be a good choice for a poster for a cyberpunk movie.
It’s not just about the genre, but also the mood. Some fonts evoke fear; others sadness. Try to choose a font that captures the kind of emotion you’re hoping the audience will feel when they look at your design.
Are you looking for a font to use in your personal or commercial projects? Depending on your answer, you may need to purchase a commercial license. Some free fonts are only free for personal or non-profit use, so always check the fine print before you download it!
All fonts available on Envato Elements have simple license terms. You can sign up for a creative subscription and use any of them for both commercial and personal use.
