The modern ''Super Mario'' typeface is an uneven sans-serif typeface designed by Nintendo in the early 2010s. It was experimented with by Nintendo in the lead up to the release of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]], with the first use of the modern font appearing in the North American spine art of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. 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 singular ''Super Mario'' typeface, used for logos, menus, HUDs, and other text across the ''Super Mario'' franchise. | The modern ''Super Mario'' typeface is an uneven sans-serif typeface designed by Nintendo in the early 2010s.
