Your words come up in Hot Wheels yellow on a deep blue ground, in heavy, chunky letters. Keep the picture, or take the free font that has the same weight.

Heavy Heap, by Ray Larabie of Typodermic Fonts, is a heavy display face with flared letters, and the free font tied to the Hot Wheels logo look. dafont labels it free for personal use and its licence does not let it be passed on, so it is not given here: get it from its author. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.

What font is the Hot Wheels logo?
Google’s results point two ways. A Reddit answer names TT Supermolot Neue, from TypeType, and another result says TT Supermolot is part of the Hot Wheels visual identity. Pinterest, meanwhile, describes the logo as a stylized font with a red and yellow flame running out from the left of the name.
Heavy Heap, by Ray Larabie’s Typodermic Fonts, is the free font tied to the Hot Wheels logo look, and its licence does not let us pass it on. What you can download here is Passion One, by Fontstage, a heavy, chunky face under the SIL Open Font License. Neither of them is the logo itself.
The Hot Wheels look
Hot Wheels is heavy lettering with a flame streaking out of its left side. The palette that the Reddit answer calls the official colors has four: blue #2C84C7, cobalt #4251AE, yellow #F1D74D and red #D42F41.
Solid on the Logo background draws your words in yellow on cobalt blue, as large as the frame lets them be. Glow gives a night race poster its neon, Outline traces only the edges over a photo of your track, and Clear leaves the yellow letters alone to lay on anything.

Write the birthday kid’s name in the maker above and save it on Clear, so only the yellow letters are kept.
In Canva, open a blank invitation, colour its page blue and set the letters high up, big.
Below them, put the date, the address and the age, in white or yellow.

Questions
What is the Hot Wheels font called?
The sources name two: TT Supermolot Neue, which a Reddit answer gives, and Heavy Heap, the free font tied to the logo look. The logo itself is Mattel’s lettering with a flame, and neither is exactly it.
Is the Hot Wheels font free?
Passion One is free for personal and commercial work alike under the SIL Open Font License. Heavy Heap is labeled free for personal use on dafont, and its author’s newer note allows commercial use but not sharing the font file.
How do I get a Hot Wheels font in Canva?
Canva Pro lets you upload your own fonts to its Brand Kit, so add Passion One there. On a free account, make the words in the maker above, save the picture and drop it into your design.
Is there a Hot Wheels font generator?
Yes. The maker above draws your words in Hot Wheels yellow on blue and saves them as a picture. Google lists others too, such as TextStudio’s text effect generator.
Can I sell things made with the Hot Wheels font?
For your own words, yes: Passion One’s licence lets you print them on a shirt, a mug or a sticker you sell. Hot Wheels itself, its name, flame and logo, is Mattel’s, so a product that carries them needs Mattel’s permission.
