News Gothic Font is a grotesque or industrial-style sans-serif typeface. It was designed by Morris Fuller Benton and launched in 1908 by his employer American Type Founders (ATF). News Gothic is similar in proportion and structure to Franklin Gothic, also designed by Benton, but lighter.
News Gothic, like other Benton sans serif typefaces, follows the grotesque pattern, resembling the serif text faces of the time, with a double-decker lowercase a and g. Also distinctive are the blunt term at the apex of the lowercase t and the location of the tail of the uppercase Q completely outside the bowl. Letter shapes are compact and downlines are shallow. The typeface differs from other grotesque sans-serifs in its rather light and open letterforms, which contributes to a less severe and humanistic tone of voice.
For much of the 20th century, News Gothic was used in newspaper and magazine publishing with copies available on Monotype and Intertype machines for hot metal typesetting. Both companies added additional pesos to the family. For use in headlines, it was designed with condensed and extra-condensed styles.
‘Gothic’ was an early 20th-century term for sans-serifs, found primarily in the United States and Canada. It was also used in the UK, along with ‘grotesque’. In Germany, the term ‘Grotesk’ was used.
