Description

Metrophobic is a sans serif face with a semi geometric feel. It is designed to be legible at small text sizes but also have enough character to be used as an interesting display face for headers and headlines. It can also be used for text bodies. Updated June 2019 to v3.100: Redrawn and respaced to improve the design quality. Updated January 2023 to v3.200: The glyphset has been expanded and now support Vietnamese language. The overhall horizontal space has been adjusted for a better readability. The Metrophobic project was commissioned by Google from Vernon Adams , an English type designer who lived in San Clemente, Los Angeles, USA. To contribute, see github.com/googlefonts/MetrophobicFont

Designer

Vernon Adams

Vernon practiced typeface design professionally from 2007 to 2014. A lifelong artist, during this period he eagerly explored designing type for the mobile/cloud era of computing. His work spans all genres, from lively script faces to workhorse text families and operating system UI. Vernon graduated with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading (UK) in 2006, and passed away in California in 2014. Almost all his typefaces live on as open source Google Fonts, and his favorite projects were Oxygen Mono, Monda, and Bowlby One. Follow his story at

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
