Free alternatives to Century Gothic
Century Gothic (Monotype): Century Gothic is Monotype's 1991 geometric sans, drawn to match the proportions of ITC Avant Garde Gothic and the spirit of 1920s geometric faces like Futura. It is round, open, and airy, common in wedding stationery, corporate documents, and signage.
Century Gothic is bundled with Microsoft Office rather than being freely licensed. Using it outside licensed Microsoft software, or embedding it in websites and apps, requires a paid Monotype license.
Questrial has the same round, wide, single-story geometric feel as Century Gothic Regular. It comes in one weight, so it covers text and light display use but not bold settings.
Poppins matches Century Gothic's circular bowls and adds a full weight range with italics, making it the more practical choice for a whole document or site.
Didact Gothic was designed for schoolbook legibility with simple, open geometric forms. It reads slightly plainer than Century Gothic but works well at text sizes.
Jost is a Futura-style geometric sans, and since Century Gothic itself channels that same tradition, Jost lands close in tone while being a bit more refined.
Montserrat is rounder and wider than most grotesques and covers Century Gothic's role in headings and invitations, with far more weights to work with.
Century Gothic is a trademark of its owner and is not distributed by DaFontFonts. This page recommends independent open-licence typefaces with a comparable feel; they are not copies and render with their own metrics and details.
Questions
Is Century Gothic free?
No. It ships with Microsoft products under their licensing, but it is not an open font. For web use or products, you need a license from Monotype or a free substitute.
What free font is most like Century Gothic?
Questrial is the closest single-weight match for the regular style. If you need bolds and italics too, Poppins covers the same geometric look as a full family.
