It was developed specifically to address the need of open-source software having access to this popular design, and is thus under the terms of the Open Font License. Squarish Sans is a typeface under development as of September 2014. The design has three weights in regular and condensed widths, and modern OpenType features. Morris Sans ĭesigned by Dan Reynolds for Linotype, Morris Sans is an extended Bank Gothic family including both lowercase letters and small capitals. Prior to its Septemrelease, it was known as Bank Gothic AS. DeLuxe Gothic was the name originally used by the Intertype Corporation for its version of Morris Fuller Benton's Bank Gothic. The DeLuxe Gothic Family was released in OpenType format in 2010 by Alphabet Soup Type Founders with both regular and condensed styles as well as traditional shortcaps. Unlike the 1930s original, Doret’s font contains lowercase characters. In 2003, letterforms artist Michael Doret began work on DeLuxe Gothic-a derivative version of American Type Founder's Bank Gothic. The new lowercase characters did not exist with the original release, and were modeled after many similar Morris Fuller Benton designs released by American Type Founders in the 1930s. The family consists of light, medium, and bold weights in both a regular and a condensed style. In 2010, FontHaus released an updated revival of the original Bank Gothic complete with a lowercase and small caps and a new suite of punctuation glyphs. Digitizations Īs American Type Founders ceased operations before issuing a digital version, various digitizations have been released by different companies, including Bitstream, ParaType (the Bitstream digitization, adding Cyrillic), and others. When Linotype issued a digitization in the 1980s, small caps were added in the lower-case position, and this has become common in digital releases. It became a standard design, with Monotype, Linotype, Ludlow and Intertype offering versions. According to McGrew, the range of sizes cast allowed smaller sizes to be used as small capitals for larger sizes. The original metal typeface was capitals-only in light, medium and bold in regular and condensed widths, with larger sizes released as Poster Gothic.
