Rama Gothic specimen from Dharma Type

A condensed antiqued display sans built on 19th-century wood type references, spanning 18 styles for poster and headline work.

About

Drawn from the visual grammar of 19th-century wood type, each glyph is treated with an antiqued quality that calls back to the era of letterpress printing and Hamilton Manufacturing catalogues. The family runs to 18 styles with a consistently tight, condensed proportion suited to posters, titles and packaging where strong vertical rhythm is needed. A companion set, Gothic Extras, bundles period-appropriate borders, ornaments and frames at no cost.

Classification

A condensed antiqued sans serif explicitly inspired by 19th-century wood type, placing it firmly in the display category as a revival of wood type vernacular rather than a general-use grotesque.
