About

NaN Gothic takes the warmth and idiosyncrasy of early twentieth-century American sans-serifs and extends them into a large, coherent type system. NaN Gothic Big targets editorial and display use with tight spacing and a generous x-height across eight widths; NaN Gothic UI loosens spacing and opens counters for extended text and small sizes; NaN Gothic UI Mono completes the system for coding and tabular contexts. Distinctive details – swept terminals on /t and /y, top-heavy /S and /K, and a 20° italic alongside a backslant – give the family a dynamic character without sacrificing utility.

Classification

An American grotesque revival with vernacular warmth, featuring quirky details such as swept /t and /y terminals, top-heavy /S and /K, and a distinctive 20° italic and backslant. The design traces its lineage to early twentieth-century US sans-serif typography.
