Century Gothic is a kind of font, which is based on the geometric style sans serif faces. It was designed in 1991 for Monotype Imagine-a typesetting and typeface design company. It takes stimulation from Sol Hess's Twentieth Century, which was a successful Futura typeface in 1937-1947.
Century Gothic has a larger x-height, and more stroke width. the face is totally full circle counter for its lowercase ‘o’, ‘q’, ‘a’, and ‘g’.
This typeface is useful for headlines and display in small quantities of texts, particularly in advertising. Gothic is the word related to something very natural. Therefore the Century Gothic typeface could be suit for the cases, which express the beautiful feeling, natural feeling, and perfect feeling. However, due to its layout based on the sans serif, it should be use for modern printing.
