Minions Font – Free Download (OTF, TTF, SVG)

About the Minions Font

The Minion is a free fan font for the bold, rounded capitals of the Minions and Despicable Me titles. It was made by Indonesian designer Ryal Docallisme HAS and is shared as donationware. The letters are heavy and friendly, with soft corners that read well even at small sizes.

The font is all capitals: the lowercase keys type the same uppercase shapes, so you never get a mismatched letter. It includes A–Z, numbers 0–9 and basic punctuation in both TTF and OTF.
