2019 Top 3 Geometric Fonts


Gordita

Designed by Australian designer Thomas Gillett, this typeface draws clear inspiration from Futura and Gotham. It feels sharper than Gotham, yet offers a more natural and approachable impression than Futura. The small apertures and meticulously designed ink traps ensure excellent legibility. Furthermore, it features optical corrections to maintain its geometric appearance, much like Futura. With seven different weights, Gordita is highly versatile for various applications.
