# League of Legends Font: What the Logo Uses + Free Lookalikes

## Short answer

The League of Legends logo is custom lettering, not a font you can install (based on the typeface Sharp Sans by Lucas Sharp / Sharp Type).

Pentagram's 2019 case study for Riot: the wordmark started from Sharp Sans but was heavily reworked and bulked up, with serif-like details.

## What the Lettering Looks Like

Heavy geometric sans-serif capitals in gold, stacked as LEAGUE (with a small OF) over LEGENDS so the words lock into a block; the L and A carry small serif-like spurs, and the 3D version is bevelled, scratched gold metal.

## Free Open Lookalikes

Chosen by eye from the style hubs for a similar feel; not a measured match.
