Community Gothic Font Family

Community Gothic Font Family is a contemporary humanist sans-serif font family. These typefaces were clear and durable, while often being coarse and even awkward. In many cases they were developed in isolation, without any deliberate relationship to each other.

Community Gothic revives not only the gritty forms of this genre, but the patchwork sets assembled by typefounders and printers alike. So each style was conceived and drawn independently, but integrated in a conventional progression of weights and widths for intuitive use. Designers Tobias Frere-Jones, Fred Shallcrass and Nina Stössinger referred to historical sources from American and European foundries in developing each style. With design tools they made specifically for this family, the designers pursued irregularity with asymmetric curves and buckled lines. Community Gothic consciously resists the usual smoothness of digital type, and the result is a powerful and emphatically human quality.
