Hollywood Hills Expanded

Hollywood Hills Expanded font by Shywedge is a free old-school display typeface with a bold, blocky swagger that feels straight off a vintage stadium banner or late‑90s movie poster. Its wide stance, squared curves, and chunky, uniform strokes give every word the weight of a marquee title, while the clean edges keep it sharp instead of grungy or distressed.

Using Hollywood Hills Expanded, you can shout your message across sports branding, event posters, mixtape covers, retro apparel, gaming overlays, and bold YouTube thumbnails. The strong geometric rhythm reads instantly from a distance, so it shines on big headlines and short phrases. Pair this free font with a simple, narrow sans serif for body copy to balance its expanded, in-your-face character.
