How to Get MrBeast Text in CapCut on PC: Quick Guide

The font MrBeast uses in his thumbnails and on-screen captions is Komika Axis — a free, publicly available font, not a custom “MrBeast font.” To use it in CapCut on PC, download Komika Axis from DaFont, double-click the .ttf file, click Install, then restart CapCut. The font will appear under System Fonts when you edit any text element.

Applies to: CapCut desktop (current version) on Windows 10 (22H2) and Windows 11 (23H2, 24H2, 25H2) | Last updated: April 20, 2026

Key Takeaways

• The real font is Komika Axis by Apostrophic Labs — free for personal use, widely used by MrBeast and dozens of other channels.
• Any font installed at the Windows system level shows up in CapCut under Text → Style → Font → System Fonts. You don’t need CapCut-specific font packs.
• CapCut has to be fully closed and reopened after the font install — it caches the system font list on launch, so newly-installed fonts don’t appear until the next start.

Quick Steps

1. Download Komika Axis from DaFont (ZIP file).
2. Extract the ZIP and double-click the KOMIKAX_.ttf file.
3. Click Install in the font preview window.
4. Close CapCut completely, then reopen it.
5. Add a text layer → Style → Font → System Fonts → pick Komika Axis.

Step 1: Download Komika Axis

1. Open the Komika Axis page on DaFont.
2. Click the Download button. A ZIP file called komika_axis.zip saves to your Downloads folder.

Licensing note: Komika Axis is free for personal use. Commercial use — including monetised YouTube videos that aim to imitate MrBeast’s branding — technically requires a licence from the original designer (Apostrophic Labs). For casual/personal videos it’s fine; for a serious commercial channel, check the licence terms first or pick a font that’s free for commercial use.

Step 2: Extract and Install the Font

1. Open the Downloads folder and find komika_axis.zip.
2. Right-click → Extract All (or use 7-Zip / WinRAR). The ZIP contains KOMIKAX_.ttf plus a read-me text file.
3. Double-click KOMIKAX_.ttf. Windows shows a preview of the font with sample text.
4. Click Install at the top of the preview window. Accept the UAC prompt if it asks.

The font is now installed system-wide and available to every Windows app that reads installed fonts — CapCut, Word, Photoshop, PowerPoint, Figma, and so on.

Step 3: Use the Font in CapCut

1. Close CapCut completely. This is the step most people skip. CapCut reads the system font list once at launch — if it was open while you installed the font, it won’t see it until the next start.
2. Reopen CapCut and load your project.
3. Add a text layer (Text → Default from the top toolbar) or select an existing one.
4. In the right-hand panel, click Style, then the Font dropdown.
5. Scroll down to the System Fonts category (below CapCut’s bundled fonts) and pick Komika Axis.

To complete the MrBeast look, typical settings are: bold/black weight (Komika Axis is already bold by design), white fill with a black stroke around 10–15px, and sometimes a drop shadow for extra contrast against busy thumbnails. CapCut’s Style panel gives you all three in the same place.

Troubleshooting

Komika Axis doesn’t appear in CapCut

• Confirm the font is installed — open Settings → Personalization → Fonts and search for “Komika”. If it’s not there, repeat step 2.
• Make sure you fully closed CapCut, including background instances. Check the system tray for a CapCut icon and right-click → Quit. A Task Manager check on CapCut.exe confirms nothing is running.
• In CapCut’s font picker, use the search box at the top — type “Komika”. If it’s installed but buried in a long list, search finds it faster than scrolling.

The font looks different from MrBeast’s

MrBeast’s team often applies a heavy stroke, distorted outlines, and custom colouring on top. The base font is Komika Axis, but the final look is a stroked-and-shadowed styling, not the font itself. In CapCut, adjust Outline (stroke thickness) and Shadow (drop shadow distance and blur) in the Style panel to match.

Font installs but Word / other apps don’t see it either

Restart the app. If that doesn’t help, restart Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, find Windows Explorer, right-click → Restart. That reloads the font cache without a full reboot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MrBeast font called?

Komika Axis, designed by Apostrophic Labs. It’s been around since the early 2000s and is popular for comic-book titles and high-contrast thumbnails — which is exactly how MrBeast uses it.

Is Komika Axis free for commercial use?

It’s free for personal use; commercial use formally requires permission from Apostrophic Labs. For a small channel or personal edits it’s unlikely to matter, but for a monetised commercial project, contact the designer for a licence or pick a genuinely commercial-licenced alternative like Obelix Pro or Bebas Neue, which are similar visually but openly licensed.

Why didn’t the font appear the first time I checked?

CapCut reads the Windows font list once, at launch. If you install a font while CapCut is already running, the editor doesn’t see it until the next start. Fully quit CapCut (including any background instance in the system tray), then reopen — the font appears under System Fonts.

Can I use this font in CapCut mobile?

Not directly — iOS and Android don’t expose system fonts to third-party apps the way Windows and macOS do. On iOS you can use a font-installer app like iFont, but CapCut mobile has its own bundled font library. Komika Axis isn’t in CapCut’s bundled list, so the easiest workaround is to edit on desktop.

Where can I find other fonts to use in CapCut?

Any site that offers .ttf or .otf downloads works — DaFont, Google Fonts, Font Squirrel. Install the font the same way (double-click → Install), restart CapCut, and pick it from the System Fonts list. Google Fonts are the safer choice for commercial work because they’re openly licensed.
