BACKGROUND & HISTORY

The typeface was inspired by 1930s American Sans-Serifs and New York City’s vernacular lettering

Gotham’s influence was signage, letterings thrown together by engineers and draftsmen outside the realm of typography

Hoefler & Frere-Jones were commissioned to design a signature sans serif for GQ in 2000

This gave them the chance to study and explore the style of building lettering in New York

They began with the sign for the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
