e*aaaaATF Alternate Gothic is a new, significant digital
expansion of Morris Fuller Benton’s classic 1903 design.
Originally available in one bold weight, the typefacecame in three widths for flexibility in copy-fitting layouts.
ATF Alternate Gothic has impact at any size. Its letterforms are instantly familiar: Benton’s original metal typefamily was used throughout the 20th century in newspapers, magazines, and advertising, providing “strong andeffective display” in a compact space. Monotype issued
its own version for machine typesetting, and Alternate
Gothic likely served as inspiration for Linotype’s Trade
Gothic®Bold and Bold Condensed. ATF Alternate Gothic
expands on the characteristics that perhaps made Trade
Gothic so popular, providing a wider range of weights
and widths to address the needs of today’s designers
and technologies.

ATF Alternate Gothic

The space-saving clarity of ATF Alternate Gothic brings
readability to the world of advertising typefaces. With
its finely graded range of ten weights, with four widthsof each weight (40 fonts total), this extensive family
can be used to pack a lot into a narrow space, and therange makes it easy to create variations of an advertisement or announcement for different formats and media.
The tall x-height and narrow proportions, combinedwith a relatively low waist and springy, tension-filledforms, make ATF Alternate Gothic strong and effectivein display. All ten weights have been carefully spaced
for readability. Caps and lowercase work well together,while attention-grabbing all-caps settings are clear andnever crowded, no matter how narrow.
Morris Fuller Benton, American Type Founders, 1903
Mark van Bronkhorst, Alan Dague-Greene, David Sudweeks,
Igino Marini, & Ben Kiel, 2015®
