Hess Gothic Round NF was designed by Sol Hess, Herb Lubalin, Paul Renner, Nick Curtis and published by Nick’s Fonts. Hess Gothic Round NF contains 4 styles and family package options.
The family tree of this friendly face runs deep. Its primary inspiration is Twentieth Century, designed by Saul Hess as a monoline version of Paul Renner’s Futura.
The design was reinterpreted by Herb Lubalin as Avant Garde in the 1970s.
This version softens the harsh geometry of the original designs with rounded line endings: the result is a warm, inviting face that is elegant, confident and inviting.
All versions of this font include the Unicode 1250 Central European character set in addition to the standard Unicode 1252 Latin set.
