Century

In 1901, Monotype imaging released Century Gothic. It is similar to the Futura font, but has a taller height. The font is inspired by geometric-style sans serif typefaces, which gained popularity in the early part of the 20th century.

From the time prehistoric man carved drawings on cave walls, there have been specific strokes and symbols that convey a particular tone or mood. In the 15th century, moveable type and the printing press were born, and from that point on, people created different typefaces for a variety of reasons and uses. Some typefaces were created for clarity, some for formaily and more recently for on-screen use.

Century Gothic is a geometric sans-serif font created specially as a digital typeface. it has never been uesd as a physical typeface. This makes it rather unique out of the more common fonts found in existence today.
