Equipped with such an array of historical variants, Coco Gothic Pro becomes an encyclopedia of styles from the last century, ready to transform itself and adapt to the mood of your text. The original, body-text optimised Coco Gothic and Coco Gothic Alternate subfamilies have been complemented whit a new Coco Gothic Display subfamily aimed at display usage, featuring tighter spacing and optimised letterforms.Ī distinguishing feature of Coco Gothic Pro is the inclusion of ten alternate historical sets that allow select period letterforms that range from art deco and nouveau, to modernism and to eighties’ minimalism. This signature touch is enhanced by the inclusion of light humanist touches to the proportions of the letters, resulting in the unique mix that makes Coco Gothic both contemporary and vintage looking.Īfter six years from the original project (that has spawned in the meanwhile successful families like Cocogoose and Coco Sharp), we went back to the design to completely redraw and expand the original family, creating with a Pro version that has better on-screen readability, a wider weight range, variable type versions and more language coverage (with Coco Gothic Arabic adding a new script to the latin, greek and cyrillic of the original).Ĭoco Gothic Pro comes in three subfamilies, each with seven weights with matching italics and featuring an extended character set with open type support for small caps, ligatures, alternates, European languages, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets.

The crisp modernist shapes acquired in printing charme and warmth due to ink spread and imperfection - something that has been translated digitally in a slight rounding of the corners in the glyphs of Coco Gothic. Inspired by a biography of Coco Chanel and trying to capture the quintessential mood of classical fashion elegance, Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini designed Coco Gothic looking for the effect that the first geometric sans typefaces (from Caslon's first inventions to Futura, Berthold Grotesque or the italian Semplicità) had when printed on paper.
