ITC Serif Gothic  Suggeriti da Heron2001 


Clemente  Suggeriti da jelsie 

serif?

The ampersand and the t say yes. The rest says no.

It's the ITC Serif Gothic family - when it was in the hands of type shops and the had alternates...

thanks so much.

You are welcome - I don't know of any digital ITC San Serif fonts out there. You can still buy transfer sheets that have the alternates - or maybe you know an old typographer who held on to their typositor and can make up some headlines for you.

Best wishes to you on your project.

Perhaps we can get a campaign going to ITC for the alternatives - it worked for Avant Garde... took them years but we finally had the option to buy the fonts with the fancy As...

All three weights?

Jackie, taking a closer look at the alternates they are easy to make. All are made with already existing shapes. I guess the unpublished Bitstream version would be a good starting point
