Geometry Desk
The Studio

We got tired of fake download buttons.

Geometry Desk started as an internal tool for previewing geometric sans fonts before committing to one in a layout. We turned it into a small public resource once we realized how few sites explained the licensing clearly.

What we actually do

We built a live, in-browser lab for testing Century Gothic against its closest free relatives, indexed the fonts that hold up best at display and interface sizes, and wrote plain notes on when a geometric sans is the right call and when it isn't. Nothing here requires an account, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

How We Work

Three principles behind every page

Preview honestly

Every font on this site renders live using the actual font file — no static screenshots standing in for the real thing.

License clearly

We say plainly when a font needs a commercial license and when it's genuinely free to embed, instead of burying it in fine print.

Write plainly

Journal notes explain typography in ordinary language, aimed at people building real layouts, not typography students.

The Desk

Type & Layout

Maintains the Font Lab and the gallery previews

Research & Licensing
