First seen on MyFonts: April 12th, 2002 (Updated: Aug 29th, 05) BrownBrown Gothic is a compact sans serif face, with rounder letterforms than the usual condensed grotesques such as Helvetica, Univers, et al. It has a barely discernible “distressing”, which is slightly less perceptible in the Extra Bold fonts (they also set tighter and are intended for use at large sizes). The effect matches ShinnType’s Worldwide and Walburn. It’s letter forms are modernist, more like Helvetica or Univers than Franklin Gothic or Bureau Grotesque. But with its subtle finish, Brown avoids the reductive quality of 20th Century modernism. The figures have proportional widths. How Brown Gothic was NamedBrown Gothic was named after Canadian publisher and politician George Brown. It was commissioned in 1999 by The Globe and Mail, “Canada’s national newspaper”, which was founded (well, The Globe part anyway) by Brown in 1844. Not quite what you’re looking for? Try looking at more fonts like this. ‘Brown’ is a trademark of ShinnType. |
