Metropolis by Chris Simpson

[Brian Krent]

What is the best way to go about nominating a font for inclusion into the Google Fonts collection?

Specifically, I would like to recommend "Metropolis" by Chris Simpson:

  https://github.com/chrismsimpson/Metropolis

Points of note:

• Metropolis is polished and stable.

• Metropolis is released under the Open Font License version 2.0.

• Metropolis has multiple weights:

   Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Extra Bold, and Black

• Metropolis has italic forms for each of the weights available.

• Metropolis has very good glyph coverage: 313 glyphs.

   (Available in all weights and italic styles of those weights.)

I recommend Metropolis for inclusion into the Google Fonts collection because, presently, I personally find there is no geometric sans serif of this aesthetic available in the collection that also has both a bold weight and italic styles available. As-is, there are a few geometric sans serif typefaces in the Google Fonts collection that sort of satisfy this aesthetic, but they may only have a single weight and/or no italic form available, which is undesirable and not incredibly useful. Metropolis satisfies the clean look a modern geometric sans serif (something akin to Gotham in the feeling of the glyph form) —and— provides the weights and italic forms necessary for actual real-world usage.

Thanks,

Brian
