IvyGothic
Ivy Foundry · Jan Maack
A rationalised revival of Times Gothic from the American Type Founders 1912 specimen, refined by Jan Maack for clarity and modern use across nine weights.
About
Jan Maack took Times Gothic from the 1912 American Specimen Book of Type Styles and subjected it to a systematic clean-up, preserving its subtle warmth while ironing out historical irregularities. The result is a nine-weight grotesque spanning Thin to Black with matching italics, plus a variable font covering the full range via weight and slant axes. Positioned as a Helvetica alternative with more character, it suits editorial, branding and screen work where a neutral American grotesque with warmth is required.
Classification
Derived from Times Gothic in the American Type Founders 1912 specimen book, IvyGothic sits squarely in the American grotesque tradition, rationalised for contemporary use with improved readability and simplified forms.
