Percy Jackson is the protagonist of a book series by the same name, written by author Rick Riordan and published by Hyperion Press / Disney Books. The fantasy novels, aimed at an audience of children/young teens, was first published as a series with five volumes, followed by a growing series of spin-off stories.

The “Percy Jackson” logo is based on Metamorphous, designed by James Grieshaber and art directed by Eben Sorkin for Google Fonts. The designers added a custom interlinear ligature connecting the Y and the O. For additional information, earlier editions of the series (see last image) use Eleganza.

The newest editions, released with new artwork in January 2023, and the new stories have an updated Percy Jackson logo with chrome effects. These 2023 releases use Questal Small Caps for the subtitle and additional information on the book covers. The look of Questal differs between outlets: the version used on these book covers is available from Fontspring (dated 2010); MyFonts offers a version with higher contrast and slightly different details, dated 2007.

  1. I was just wondering how I could get the same font that Rick Riordan used for the Percy Jackson books. I love the font. Please email me back.
