Gothic Round

HWT Gothic Round is a bold, rounded sans digitized by Miguel Sousa. He took inspiration from eight different wood type sources dating back to 1838. Despite its tubular appearance, this typeface surprises with carefully crafted details. Distinct characteristics were emphasized or subdued, resulting in a fun hybrid. Notice the flat top of the ‘j,’ the dimple on ‘1,’ and the solution for minimizing descenders in the ‘g.’ Given its small counters, this face shines when used in larger sizes.
