    About Leviathan Font Family


    Leviathan is the gothic (sans serif) member of The Proteus Project, a collection of four interchangeable type families designed in different nineteenth century styles.

    The Leviathan typeface was designed by Jonathan Hoefler in 1992. Leviathan is the sans serif member of The Proteus Project, a typographic theme-and-variations in different nineteenth century styles. Like the earliest sans serif poster types, Leviathan presents as a slab serif typeface denuded of ornamentation; unlike these early faces, it includes a companion italic, whose cursive motif adds a welcome brightness to the dark gothic style. Leviathan was created for Rolling Stone, in whose pages the typeface first appeared in 1993.

    From the desk of the designer:

    Leviathan began as a sans serif conversion of our Ziggurat typeface, a process which echoes the way in which many early gothics were developed. Like all typographic names that evoke the ancient world (Egyptian, Tuscan, Ionic, etc.) the term “gothic” is a nineteenth century English coinage that reminds us of that culture’s fascination with antiquity.
