07 / Swap
Swap Genos without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Genos sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Genos loads, this sets Arial in its place at 89.3% of its size, so running text keeps Genos’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Genos
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Genos free for commercial use?
Yes. Genos is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included.
How do I download and install Genos?
FontKind doesn’t host Genos’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Genos in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Genos isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. On Windows, its weights beyond Regular and Bold show as fonts of their own, such as Genos Thin and Genos Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Genos in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Genos under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Genos in Figma?
Yes: Genos is in Figma’s font menu with all nine weights and their italics, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Genos have?
Genos comes in nine weights, from Thin (100) to Black (900), each with an italic. It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 100 to 900.
