Qualitative research methods with observational data collection, literature review, and documentation. The approach using typology studies includes typography and function. The findings from the results of the study show that the metalhead logo typology through digital posters has its own characteristics, in color selection, the dominant use of white in writing and the background tends to be dark in color, namely black, red, and other colors but not so dominating. Regarding letters, they tend to use unusual letters (design themselves) in writing band names. Event themes, schedules, venues, and sponsors tend to use fonts that are universally understood or still use conventional fonts in Microsoft Word. The function of the metalhead logo is to form a collective identity and communication among Metalheads and the wider community.
