Monotype Imaging Introduces the Soho Gothic Typeface Family! Soho Gothic is based on the original Soho design, which was successfully introduced last year. Designed over a three-year period by Sebastian Lester, Soho Gothic was developed to be effortlessly modern, with all seven sans serif weights and corresponding italics designed in tandem to ensure that they complement each other. The design also features stylistic alternates which have been an intrinsic part of the Soho project. These give designers greater flexibility and help bridge the gap between Soho and Soho Gothic, with a suite of semi-slab alternates that are accessible through some of the 25 OpenType features of Soho Gothic. Be sure to check out the great promotional video. The font itself is available from fonts.com and faces.co.uk.
