The modern ''Super Mario'' typeface is an uneven sans serif typeface designed by Nintendo in the early 2010's. Experimented with by Nintendo in the lead up to the release of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]], early versions appeared in games such as ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', featuring a character set closer to the classic font. The font in its current form was officially introduced with the release of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' in 2011 and has since become the single ''Super Mario'' typeface, used for logos, menus, HUDs, and other text across the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

The modern ''Super Mario Bros.'' typeface is first seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', based on the logo for ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', which is in turn based on the logo for the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. It is geometrical with vertical stems with circular joints for shapes such as "A" and "M" and horizontal strokes that end before meeting left-hand vertical stems. ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' introduces a lowercase set of characters for this typeface.

'''Super Mario 256''' is a fanmade font designed to replicate the modern ''Super Mario'' typeface, and was created by DaFont user fsuarez913. The typeface was first published online in 2012, and quickly became very widespread. Compared to the font it imitates, Super Mario 256 is slightly bolder and wider, and several characters are drawn at different angles.  

Despite its nature as an unnoffical fan project, Super Mario 256 has made its way into official media on multiple occasions. In particular, the [[LEGO Super Mario]] set ''Nabbit at Toad's Shop'' and a few social media advertisements for ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake of ''Super Mario RPG'']] feature the typeface.
