Über die Familie


Alternate Gothic was designed by Morris Fuller Benton for American Type Founders at the beginning of the last century. It quickly became a staple of 20th-century advertising and editorial design. Benton’s design goals were to create a typeface with high impact and legibility in tight spaces, delivering bold headlines and compressed wordmarks that retained legibility under the technical constraints of hot-metal typesetting.

Later digitized by the URW Type Foundry, the family continues to carry these goals into the digital environments with crisp, scalable forms that retain their typographic power and authority.

Alternate Gothic has found renewed relevance in streetwear branding and retro athletic wear design. Its condensed structure and strong vertical emphasis evoke the visual language of vintage sports jerseys, distressed logos, and bold sneaker typography. Alternate Gothic is a natural fit for limited-edition products and branding collaborations. Alternate Gothic’s characters are space-efficient, without sacrificing clarity. It performs well on small garment patches, cap embroidery, and high-impact packaging – where every inch of visual real estate matters.
