Best free alternatives to
Lunchtype24
Stefan Wetterstrand, the Swedish designer behind the fashion-magazine faces Helit and Cecill, started Lunchtype as a #100daysproject in 2015, drawing a letterform during each boring lunch hour and posting it to Instagram under the Steppot name. The free family grew in numbered weeks: Lunchtype 21 arrived in 2016, followed by 22 through 25. Lunchtype24 is the expanded cut, a wide, flat sans in Light, Regular and Medium that Wetterstrand frames as intentionally uninspiring, boredom turned into letters. It ships under the SIL Open Font License. These free typefaces cover the same wide, low-key grotesque register and load straight from a CDN.

Crisp, even strokes give the display its punch. Quiet serifs underneath stay readable across thousands of words — used together by editors at the kind of paper that still prints corrections.

Body type does the heavy lifting. Get it right and the reader never thinks about it; get it wrong and they feel it before they can name what is off.

If you need a similar font you can load from a CDN, the closest is Archivo, available on Google Fonts.
- What font is similar to Lunchtype24?
- Archivo is the closest free match. A grotesque with a variable width axis that runs out to a fully expanded cut, so it reaches Lunchtype24's wide stance directly. It carries far more weights and italics, and its American Gothic roots give it slightly more personality than Wetterstrand's deliberately flat forms.
