I use Gotham for everything

I wonder if that means I'm lazy.

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    when Gotham is ashes, then what will you use?

    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?

    The typeface
  • That's a thing?

    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. =-=
  • Now I want it :o

    It is one of the classier and more iconic sans-serifs.

    I generally prefer serif fonts myself, however.

    I'm generally a sans guy

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

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

    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 In that case, the finickiness is superseded by different aesthetic concerns.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

    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.
