  I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

  some other geometric sans that people keep using because for some reason using the actual Gotham is considered tired but using some redux of it, or Avant Garde, is in right now

  Gotham, like, actual Gotham, or the Gotham show?

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Yes, and a popular one. You've probably seen it before.
  
  EDIT: And Crystal beat me to it because I had to remember the correct markup. =-=

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  It is one of the classier and more iconic sans-serifs.
  
  I generally prefer serif fonts myself, however.

  They are more versatile because they tend to lack noticeable stroke contrast and aren't as finicky as a result

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  If you paid big money for Gotham, I see no reason not to use it

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  But see, my focus is not on graphic design in the broad sense, as yours is, but more a typesetter's interest: How does a font or typeface look on the page? In that case, the finickiness is superseded by different aesthetic concerns. Serif types simply look better more often than not.

  They have a better rhythm in long text and ink treats them kinder, yeah

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Sans-serifs also look insufficiently dense on the page as well. The lack of subtle intrusions into the kerning makes everything look further apart, and trying to compensate for it makes everything look a bit compressed. There are situations where it can work but it's rare.
