A version of Century Gothic, Levenim, that includes Hebrew alphabet characters has been included in later versions of Windows. Printer ink usage.

Century Gothic maintains the basic design of 20th Century but has an enlarged 'x' height and has been modified to ensure satisfactory output from modern digital systems. The design is influenced by the geometric style sans serif faces which were popular during the 1920's and 30's.

Century Gothic is a sans-serif typeface in the geometric style, released by Monotype Imaging in 1991.^[1]^[2] It is strongly influenced by the font Futura, but with a larger x-height.^{[citation needed]} Its design also derives from two other typefaces that were designed to compete with Futura.^{[citation needed]} It is an exclusively digital typeface that has never been manufactured as metal type.^{[citation needed]}

Design[edit]

Like many geometric sans-serifs, Century Gothic's design has a single-story 'a' and 'g', and an 'M' with slanting sides resembling an upturned 'W'. Century Gothic has a high x-height (tall lower-case characters). Its origins (see below) come from a design intended for large-print uses such as headings and signs, and so it has a reasonably purely geometric design closely based on the circle and square, with less variation in stroke width than fonts designed for small sizes tend to show, and a relatively slender design in its default weight.

Sources[edit]

While many geometric sans-serif typefaces have been released to compete with the popular typeface Futura, Century Gothic is perhaps unique in its origin: it redraws one to match the design proportions of a second. Century Gothic was created to be a substitute font for ITC Avant Garde, designed by Herb Lubalin, and released by the International Typeface Corporation (ITC) in 1970, so a document created in one can be displayed in the other with no change to copyfit.^[3]^[4] This allows it to substitute interchangeably for Avant Garde in documents, an important feature since Avant Garde is a standard font in some forms of the PostScript digital printing standard, and so Century Gothic allowed Microsoft to use it in preference to paying for an ITC Avant Garde license.

Additionally, Century Gothic's design was based on Monotype's own Twentieth Century, which was drawn by Sol Hess between 1937 and 1947 for the Lanston Monotype Company.^[5] Century Gothic is similar to ITC Avant Garde in its pure geometry, and does not possess the subtle variation in stroke width found in either Futura or Twentieth Century.^[6] However, it differs from ITC Avant Garde in that like Futura and Twentieth Century, Century Gothic does not have a descender at bottom right of the 'u' (making it appear like a Greek upsilon υ), whereas Avant Garde does. Century Gothic also has larger, rounder tittles on the letters i and j more akin to Futura, whereas Avant Garde keeps the tittles square and the same width as the letter strokes. Most notably, it lacks the extreme stylistic alternates of Avant Garde, such as highly slanted letters designed to fit together closely in kerning.^[7]

Design characteristics[edit]

Twentieth Century (above) and Century Gothic (below) at equalised x-height in their default weight. Twentieth Century has features for smaller text such as loose spacing and a solid stroke weight that narrows where curves join the verticals. Century Gothic has a finer structure, less variation in stroke width and sometimes wider characters, and by default tighter spacing.

ITC Avant Garde was intended as a display design for large headings and advertisements (although it is somewhat usable for body text because of the high x-height) and as a result Century Gothic is quite a light typeface, especially in default weight, with the classic display typeface feature of tight spacing and quite wide characters, in contrast to Twentieth Century which was intended more for small-size applications with a more solid stroke weight and open spacing.^[8] While its structure is similar to Futura, its regular style is between Futura and Twentieth Century's regular and light weights.

Century Gothic was one of several clones of PostScript standard fonts created by Monotype in collaboration with or sold to Microsoft, including Arial (a clone of Helvetica), Book Antiqua (Palatino) and Bookman Old Style (ITC Bookman).^[9]^[10] It was bundled with Microsoft Office 4.3 in 1994 and subsequently provided with Plus! 95, Windows 98, Microsoft Works, and various versions of Microsoft Office up to 2010.^[11] A version of Century Gothic, Levenim, that includes Hebrew alphabet characters has been included in later versions of Windows.
