About HWT Gothic Round Font Family


Gothic Round was first introduced as wood type by the George Nesbitt Co. in 1838. The font is a softened variation of a standard heavy Gothic typeface. The style evokes a much more recent history of the 1960s and 70s and can be seen in such places as donut shops and on children's toys as well as inspiration for such fonts as VAG Rounded. Gothic Round has not previously been available as a digital font until now. The font was digitized by Miguel Sousa from a wide variety of historical sources, including visits to the Cary Collection at RIT (Rochester, NY), WNY Book Arts Center (Buffalo, NY) and the Hamilton Wood Type Museum (Two Rivers, WI). The result is a very solid and contemporary font with a 175 year history. For more information about this release, check out the

About Hamilton Wood Type Collection

Hamilton Wood Type Collection, established in 2012, is a joint venture between P22 Type Foundry and the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. The founding goal was to safeguard a typographic era and make classic wood type designs available as digital fonts for modern audiences. This historical collection of serif revivals, sans reinterpretations, decorative embellishments, script reclamations, and original chromatic designs is stunningly relevant and usable for any imaginative design practice.
