Trade Gothic

Trade Gothic

Trade Gothic is a typeface which mostly follows the Bitstream version of News Gothic, and was designed in 1948 by Jackson Burke (1908-1975), who continued to work on further style-weight combinations (eventually 14 in all) until 1960 while he was director of type development for Mergenthaler-Linotype in the USA. The font family includes 3 font weights and 3 widths.

Trade Gothic does not display as much unifying family structure as many other sans-serif families (like Futura, Helvetica, Univers, ITC Avant Garde, Frutiger, Avenir, and Akzidenz Grotesk), but this dissonance is typical of types which are — or seem to be — hand worked. It is often seen in combination in multimedia and advertising with Antiqua and/or roman text fonts, while the condensed versions are sometimes utilized for headlines.
