GOTHAM TYPEFACE SAMPLE PLUS
Some samples of the typeface can be found here at the Hoefler-and-Frere-Jones website, plus here are some interview with Frere-Jones from Typotheque and The Morning News. "It doesn't show individual authorship," he said, "but it shows a character you wouldn't find anywhere else." "It seems, in a way, that it's always been there."Īnother Pentagram partner, Michael Bierut, likened Gotham to the Manhattan street grid. "It seems like it's part of the larger urban environment," he said. Michael Gericke, a partner in the Pentagram studio, which designed the cornerstone with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the architects of the Freedom Tower, said Gotham "didn't look like something that was created yesterday and would be gone tomorrow."
From these humble beginnings came Gotham, a hard-working typeface for the ages. We liked these comments about the typeface: Gotham Every designer has admired the no-nonsense letters of the urban environment. Compare Gotham fonts with other font families in sample content. It was developed by Tobias Frere-Jones at Hoefler Type Foundry, who didn't even know that the typeface had been used for the cornerstone until getting an email from a client and then seeing pictures of it on the Times website (which the article delights in reporting, we think).

Very cool article in the NY Times today about the Gotham typeface, which was inspired by simple sans-serif types seen everywhere in the city, and the young typeface was chosed for the cornerstone for the World Trade Center.
