Soho Gothic is the latest chapter in the Soho typeface project. 7 sans serif weights, and their respective italics, ranging from a super-chic Thin to a super-solid Ultra.

Soho Gothic was designed by Sebastian Lester, a custom type designer at Monotype Imaging. Developed between 2004 and 2007, Soho Gothic was designed to harmonise well with Soho, it’s slab serif counterpart. Lester states “I want the family as a whole to look effortlessly modern and state-of-the-art. The designs were developed in tandem so that I could think carefully about every aspect of the project and ensure that used together they’d compliment each other as well as possible”.

Soho Gothic is intended work at all sizes and in all environments. Clean, precise, uncluttered forms have been created that lend themselves well to use on screen and in print. Lester states “I wanted a mature and refined design that would perform as well being used as the back bone of a global brand as it would in an edgy fashion magazine.”

Stylistic alternates are an intrinsic part of the Soho project. It gives designers greater flexibility when required and simply makes a typeface more useful. The stylistic sets in these fonts bridge the gap between Soho and Soho Gothic with a suite of semi-slab alternates that are accessible via some of Soho Gothic’s 25 OpenType features.
