BankGothic RUSS

BankGothic RUSS font.

BankGothic RUSS is a compact, square-sided display font with a technical feel. Use the preview tool to test short words, labels, numbers, and all-caps headings before downloading.

About BankGothic RUSS

BankGothic RUSS has the familiar Bank Gothic look: condensed proportions, straight edges, squared curves, and a firm geometric rhythm. It works best when the text is short and direct. Try it for sci-fi interface labels, sports titles, industrial badges, game UI, poster headers, and compact logo-style wordmarks where a wide, futuristic tone would feel too loose.

The downloadable file is a TrueType font, listed as a Medium style with 245 glyphs. Online listings also show support for Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement, and one source reports support across 39 languages. Because this style is tight and angular, check spacing carefully in the preview. It can look strong in uppercase headlines, but longer sentences may feel cramped, especially at small sizes.
