Lionel Expanded Font

Lionel Expanded, designed by Daniel Zadorozny of Iconian Fonts, is a free groovy display font built from broad, soft-edged letterforms with uneven widths and blunt joins. Its irregular curves make the lettering look molded, loose, and pleasantly offbeat.

The rounded silhouettes echo simple cartoon shapes, so the font can become part of character-based illustration for children's entertainment, game graphics, or music posters. On snack packaging and playful merchandise, those swollen forms can function almost like a mascot and give a product line a recognizable identity that goes beyond the wording itself.
