Where the Futura answer comes from
The type company Monotype reviewed the fonts of luxury fashion brands in an August 2022 article. For Louis Vuitton, it says Futura is used for the LOUIS VUITTON wordmark and for text. It describes the LV monogram as bespoke, with thick, chunky serifs and weighted thin strokes, and says the two styles balance each other. It also notes that the brand's website used Georgia for text at the time, with Austin Roman and LV Clemence appearing now and then.

Jost

Regular · Latin specimen
A free geometric sans inspired by Futura, with a similar round O and pointed A and V. The version we offer is Bold, so it looks heavier than the LOUIS VUITTON wordmark; wide spacing helps.

Questrial

Regular · Latin specimen
A clean geometric sans in a light, regular weight, close to the wordmark's even strokes. It has only one weight, and some letters are less strictly geometric than Futura's.

Regular · Latin specimen
A round geometric sans that keeps the circular O. The Bold we offer is much heavier than the wordmark, and its letters are wider and softer, so it suits a bold take rather than a close match.
View fontAbout Futura
Fonts In Use, an archive of typefaces in real work, credits Futura to the designer Paul Renner and says the Bauer foundry released it in 1927. The archive lists more than 1,200 documented uses of the face. Neither of our sources says which digital version of Futura Louis Vuitton licenses, or whether the wordmark letters were adjusted by hand. So the safe answer is Futura, without naming a weight or version.
Evidence for this attribution ↓How to get the look
Set LOUIS VUITTON in capitals in a medium-weight geometric sans, with wide, even letter spacing. Keep the O's round and the V's pointed. Black on white or gold on brown are the familiar brand colours. The LV monogram is a bold serif mark, so a plain sans will not recreate it; treat it as artwork. Jost is the closest free face to Futura, but the free version we offer is Bold, which is heavier than the wordmark.
Common questions
Is the Louis Vuitton font free?
No. Futura is a commercial typeface that you need a licence for, and it is not on Google Fonts. Jost is a free Futura-inspired alternative; Questrial is a lighter free option.
What font is the LV monogram?
None you can install. Monotype describes the interlocking LV as a bespoke monogram with thick, chunky serifs and weighted thin strokes, separate from the Futura wordmark.
What font does the Louis Vuitton website use?
In 2022, Monotype noted Georgia for text on the website, with Austin Roman and LV Clemence used now and then. Websites change, so check the current site if you need it exact.
