How a font gets chosen
You never have to pick a typeface to get a good logo, because the engine picks for you. It reads the name, works out its tone (bold, elegant, friendly, technical and so on), and scores every family against that tone. A name that reads as elegant leans toward serifs, a friendly one toward rounded sans faces, a technical one toward monospace. The pick is still a draw, weighted by those scores, so the same name gives different fonts under different seeds. That is why each Shuffle in the logo maker shows variety and not six near copies.
Length matters too. Script faces and loud display faces are penalised for names longer than about fourteen characters, and very wide faces are penalised on long names, because they would shrink the whole logo to fit. Monospace faces are penalised past twelve characters. Below you will find every family, grouped by category. Choose a category to filter the list and to redraw the logos at the top of the page with only those fonts.
Geometric
Round, even letterforms. The engine reaches for these when a name reads as modern, minimal or technical.

Using a font on purpose
To set a font yourself, pass font with an id from the list, such as font=fraunces-500, or with just the family name. A family name gives the weight closest to 600. A name that matches nothing in the catalogue is ignored and the engine picks instead, and the response says so. To keep the draw but narrow it, pass fontcat with up to eight categories, for example fontcat=serif,slab. font2 sets the second font, used for the second part of a split wordmark and for taglines.
Every family is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (128 families) or the Apache License 2.0 (6 families), and the licence text for each ships with the engine. Both licences allow the fonts to be used commercially, including in logos. The specimen on each card is a real image from the API, at /v2/fonts/id.png, and takes a text parameter of up to 40 characters if you want to preview your own words.
The full parameter reference is in the docs, and the catalogue endpoint is described on the catalogues page. If you want a shorter route, try the text logo generator, which uses only wordmarks and shows how case, tracking and a two-part split change a name.
For developers
Use it from code
https://api.logolava.com/v2/fonts/fraunces-500.png?text=Marigold+%26+RyeEvery font has a specimen image at /v2/fonts/id.png. Pass the same id to the logo endpoint as font=fraunces-500, or give fontcat a list of categories to restrict the draw.
