Geologica - Google Fonts

About

Geologica is grounded in the humanist genre, but leans assertively into geometric, constructed letterforms to find its stability. The wide stance, generous spacing, large apertures and even colour makes Geologica a serious text typeface. The stylistic “Sharpness” axis adds a rational interpretation of calligraphic pen strokes - a modernist echo of the roots of writing.

Variable axes:

Cursive (CRSV)
Sharpness (SHRP)
Weight (wght)
Slant (slnt)

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
