FF Gothic Based on a grid of squares and triangles, FF Gothic is probably Neville Brody’s most rigid and strictly geometric type family. Its many variations allow for play and variety in spite of the simplicity of the basic forms. The FF Gothic family contains two weights: Regular and Condensed and is ideally suited for advertising and packaging, music and nightlife, poster and billboards, software and gaming as well as sports. FF Gothic provides advanced typographical support with features such as ligatures and stylistic alternates.
