displaygothic display
An American condensed gothic that began as a variation on Railroad Gothic and Headline Gothic before developing its own distinctive eccentricities.
About
Rooted in the condensed gothic letterforms common to American commercial printing and signage, ITC Roswell departs from straight revival territory through idiosyncratic details that give it an original voice. The design sits comfortably in the tradition of Headline Gothic and Railroad Gothic while remaining distinct from either. It is sold through Fonts.com.
Classification
