Description
Century Gothic, designed by Sol Hess in 1990, is a versatile sans-serif typeface that originated as a large-print design intended for headings and signs. It closely follows the circle and square shapes, with less variation in stroke width than most small-size fonts, making it suitable for both online and offline mediums. Notably, Century Gothic was designed to serve as an interchangeable substitute for ITC Avant Garde Gothic in documents, providing a practical solution for users seeking a similar design without the additional licensing costs.
