Daleys Gothic specimen from Occupant Fonts

A three-weight display grotesque drawn with a steel brush by Cyrus Highsmith, designed for compact headlines and named after his mother.

About

Begun in 1997 with a steel brush and ink on paper, the family was refined through multiple drawn variations before settling on three weights, Regular, Bold and Black, each with matching italics. The brush origins give it a warmth and slight irregularity that distinguishes it from more mechanical grotesques, making it well suited to editorial headline work. The character set includes ligatures, stylistic alternates and extended Latin diacritics.

Classification

Drawn with a steel brush and ink, Daley's Gothic is a compact display grotesque with a handmade quality suited to headlines, placing it firmly in the grotesque sans-serif tradition.
