The Whitney font was successful when international brands like Kodak, Hilton Hotels, Delta Air Lines, etc., used it in their titles. The Whitney font was originally designed for the Whitney Museum in NY and released to the public in 2004, extended with narrow styles in 2016. 

The typeface attempts to bridge the gap between Gothics like Franklin Gothic and Humanists like Frutiger. It has Cyrillic and Latin support and is available in Version 001.000. The Whitney font comes in many versions: slim, light, everyday, medium, black, heavy, etc. 

This humanist sans-serif typeface includes italics, Romans, small italic caps, and small roman caps. However, it comes in six weights, including regular, italic, book, medium, light, and bold.

Each weight has extended symbols, tabular figures, fractions, extended icons, case letters, basic punctuation, stylistic alternatives, and mathematical operators.

The font has a clean texture as well as the appropriate height and width. Additionally, the spacing between letters is standard. The result is a font that is suitable for official documents.
