The LEGO logo is lettering drawn for the company: fat, rounded white capitals with a black outline, on red. Legothick, a font of 1999 that people call almost identical, is not given here, as its only licence line is All Rights Reserved. It was made for the brand alone: no one sells it or gives it away.

What font is the LEGO logo?
The LEGO logo is lettering made for the brand alone, so there is no font file of it to install. Write-ups describe bold, rounded capitals and say the logo reached its square form in 1998. The font people name for it is Legothick, also written LegoThick, dated 1999: one forum answer calls it almost identical to the logo and wonders if a fan made it, and another write-up calls it fan-made.
We do not give Legothick away. Its file carries only a 1999 copyright line for Takashi Suzuki, All Rights Reserved, and no licence, though some pages call it free. What you can download is Staatliches, by Brian LaRossa and Erica Carras: heavy, upright capitals, narrower than the logo’s, released under the SIL Open Font License, so free for any use.
How the LEGO logo looks
The logo is white capitals with a thick black outline on a bright red square, framed in yellow. Its letters are fat and rounded, and tightly set.
Solid on the Logo background draws your words in that look: white capitals with a black edge on LEGO red. The yellow frame is left out, so the red is all the ground. Outline and Glow work better on a colour of your own, and Clear drops the red and keeps the letters, ready to sit on a photo of your bricks.

Questions
What font does LEGO use for its logo and boxes?
No font you can buy is the logo itself, because LEGO drew that lettering for itself. An article on LEGO’s typography names Futura, a clean, modern typeface, for the numbers and production info on its boxes.
Is the LEGO font free?
Yes, for the font we offer: Staatliches may be used on anything, a printed poster or a video, under its open licence, the OFL. Legothick is passed around as free, but its file gives only a 1999 copyright line and no licence, so we do not hand it out.
Is the LEGO font on DaFont?
No. Legothick is not on DaFont, FontSpace or 1001fonts: only aggregator sites carry it, and none of them shows a licence.
Does the LEGO font have lowercase letters?
No: the LEGO logo is all capitals, and one write-up warns that Legothick shows block symbols for lowercase. Staatliches draws small letters as capitals, and everything you type in the maker comes out in capitals too.
Can I sell things made with the LEGO look?
You may sell things you make with Staatliches and your own words. The name LEGO and its red-square logo are trademarks of the LEGO Group, so a product that carries them is not yours to sell.
