Typeface Design for Right Gothic
Sans-serif with serif contrast logic
Right Gothic is a large variable type family built on pre-Swiss 'Gothic' sans anatomy—letterforms that behave like serifs stripped of their serifs. Unlike low-contrast modern grotesques, it reintroduces pronounced thick-to-thin stroke contrast alongside smooth ink traps. The family spans 98 styles across 7 weights, 7 widths, and 20° italics, with each sub-family accompanied by a Mini Variable Font covering the same range.
