Bank Gothic, originally designed in the early 1930s by Morris Fuller Benton never had a true set of lowercase characters. This is a brand spanking new release and a complete redraw and update of this perennial favorite — with a twist: we’ve added a complete set of lowercase characters to this traditionally all caps font. The new Bank Gothic AS still has a complete set of shortcaps as well, but the addition of the newly devised lowercase makes this already popular font much more adaptable to today’s needs — for display as well as for text. These fonts are not direct copies of their respected source: Bank Gothic AS should be thought of as being a 21st Century update of a 20th Century classic.
You’re probably familiar with Michael Doret’s work without even knowing it. If you’ve seen his logo for the NY Knicks or one of his many Time covers then you’re familiar with the power and dynamism he has brought to the art of hand-lettering for many years. But now with the opening of his digital font foundry Alphabet Soup he is excited to have added font design to his list of accomplishments. Check out Doret’s other Alphabet Soup fonts at Veer, including Deliscript, which was awarded the prestigious Certificate of Excellence by Type Directors Club in the display fonts category for their TDC² 2010 Typeface Design Competition.
With his letterform/graphic design work Michael is an eight-time winner of the New York Art Directors Club Silver Award. in his unique typographic vision he blends elements of lettering, illustration and graphic design. The inspiration for his work has come from such diverse sources as matchbook covers, theater marquees, enamel signs, early and mid-20th century packaging, and various other artifacts of this great land of ours.
