Gopher is a reverse contrast, geometric sans serif
typeface with Normal, Text, and Display families.
The 48 included fonts in the complete family range
from hairline to heavy, with italics. A variation in
the amount of contrast is what distinguishes the
three separate families, while allowing them to
still work in harmony together.
A typical contrast for typefaces is vertical (sides
and stems are thicker and the horizontal tops and
bottoms are thinner), but Gopher provides a unique
look to the geometric sans genre by switching that
contrast so the sides are thinner and tops and
bottoms thicker. This approach was the most tricky
to design in characters that have diagonal strokes,
like v and k, but also yielded interesting results.
Text styles have the most subtle reverse contrast so
they work best in smaller type settings and adhere
to conventions a bit more. Normal styles have a
moderate contrast where the unique characteristics
are more evident. Display styles are the most
dramatic as the contrast has been pushed more to the
extreme for an immediate visual impact.
Gopher includes many OpenType features to enhance
your typography: Swash capitals. Stylistic
alternates (a, J, I, 0). Standard and
discretionary ligatures. Case-sensitive
punctuation for All Caps. Fractions,
superscript, subscript.
With over 600 glyphs, this font has extensive Latin
language support (100+ Latin languages) for Western,
Central, and South Eastern European. Gopher will
work great in a variety of settings for branding,
advertising, posters, magazines, packaging, and
more.
