Даг Уилсон описал историю шрифта Gotham Тобайаса Фрере-Джонса "Exploring that first Condensed style, I had two versions of every curved shape for a little while: one round, one flat. I pinned up words in both versions next to each other, to see what tasted right. The flat-sided version took on a very DIN-like flavor, a bit European even. (курсив наш). So I put that aside and gave Gotham Condensed the rounder oval shape. I showed it to Jonathan the next day and he agreed.” Здесь же любопытно наблюдать за творческими отношениями Тобайаса и Джонатана Хёфлера. https://frerejones.com/blog/designing-gotham
