Century Gothic is very practical for headlines and general display work and for small quantities of text, particularly in advertising. Century Gothic is widely used in media titling, including in television shows and in logos such as the James Bond film “Casino Royale” and “Star Trek: Enterprise.” It is a popular font for use in advertising, particularly when headlines or small amounts of type are needed.

Century Gothic Font

Century Gothic is a design based on 20th Century, which was drawn by Sol Hess between 1936 and 1947. Century Gothic sustains the basic design of 20th Century, but has an enlarged ‘x’ height and has been modified to ensure suitable output from modern digital systems. Its design is influenced by the geometric style sans serif faces which were popular during the 1920s and 30s, and by the desire to give it widths compatible with ITC Avant Garde Gothic.
