About The Font
Trade Gothic is an elegant, versatile typeface created in the early 20th century by Jackson Burke. It is considered a classic font for any designer to have in their collection. The typeface has been used many times as a substitute for Franklin Gothic. It is a Sans Serif typeface with three weights and three widths.
The font family contains 14 styles under the weights and widths. The font has a regular, bold, black, medium, and condensed with matching italics. The Adobe font family also provided this font for free to Creative Cloud customers.
The designer, Jackson Burke, was director of type development for Mergenthaler-Linotype in the USA and worked on the font from 1948 to 1960 in further weights and styles. The font also created an impression better than the quirky grotesques from the end of the 19th century. The Trade Gothic font style has an earthy naturalism with a non-unifying structure, unlike other Sans Serif fonts like Helvetica Font and Universe Font. It became a worthy competitor to the famous font family, Helvetica. This irregular font style is more popular with designers because of its exceptional look.
