Bored with Gotham Typeface? – A few alternatives to consider



No doubt Gotham is one beautiful font, but with that accolade comes the expected flood of Gotham influenced designs. It’s not really a font you can get bored with, but it can be over used. Did you know that GQ magazine were responsible for the initial commission of the Gotham typeface?
It’s not just Gotham or Gotham, there are a number of equally stunning fonts that share a similar initial look and feel, not talking identical here.
This is not a comprehensive list, it is just limited to the few Gotham alternatives that I have in my own personal font library. There are a number of others out there, but these are the ones I use when I might have used Gotham. Also, these are not meant to be ‘exact or very close’ replicas, each font listed has it’s own unique fingerprint, but share some common aesthetics.
Hopefully these examples may entice you to try these out for yourselves.
