The Game of Thrones logo is built on Trajan, a classic serif based on Roman capital letters, and then customized for HBO. The font you can download for free is a fan-made replica called Game of Thrones, designed by Charlie Samways. It matches the look of the logo, so it works well for fan art and projects of your own.
About the Game of Thrones font
Game of Thrones premiered on HBO on April 17, 2011, and its main title sequence won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Title Design that year. According to a 2014 TypeRoom article on TV typography, the series logo is a customized version of Trajan, the Roman-style typeface Carol Twombly digitized for Adobe. Trajan is also known for showing up on movie posters, which makes it an easy fit for a show about kings and wars.
The replica on this page copies that stone-carved mood. It has sharp serifs, wide capital letters and a gothic touch. It only includes capital letters, so type your text in uppercase. Fonts4Free lists it as free for personal use.
Here is how the logo compares with the replica. The proportions and the serif shapes are very close.

- Cinzel: made for all-caps titles, with the closest feel to Trajan.
- Cinzel Decorative: the same family with fancy swashes for extra drama.

How to use the Game of Thrones font
On Windows, download the font file, right-click it and choose Install. On a Mac, double-click the file and pick Install Font in Font Book. Restart your design app if the font does not show up in its list.
Canva only lets you use fonts from its own library unless you upload your own on a paid plan, so for a quick poster you may prefer to build the image with our font generator and save it. Set the text in capitals, add a little letter spacing and use a dark background with a metallic or gold color. That mimics the look of the show titles.
