Gotham Typeface Study

My goal for this project was to grow an understanding of the characteristics that make up a typeface. I chose Gotham because it was a modern generally popular typeface that I wanted to understand more about the history behind the creation of it, and also the unique characteristics of the letterform that make it such a fantastic and universally legible typeface.
