The Scratch Font is the font used in the Scratch Logo and all associated indicia. It can be downloaded here.
The font was included with versions of Scratch prior to Scratch 1.3. It is also available in Scratch 2.0. It wasn't included in Scratch 3.0 for unknown reasons. A possible reason is because of the legal issues with the font between Scratch and the original makers of the font.[1]
This font was not created by the Scratch Team;[2] it was created by a non-Scratch user, Jakob Fischer (known as pizzadude on the website the font was from)[3], called "Black boys on mopeds".
