A2 Record Gothic Font Family
A2 Record Gothic is a revival of Ludlow’s Record Gothic typeface dating from c.1920s and c.1950s. This is our attempt to unify and systemise the disparate font styles – bold, wide, condensed and extra condensed to name a few – that were added to the family over the years by the Ludlow Typograph Company.
Originating in the late 1920s as a ‘copy’ of American Type Founders News Gothic (1908) by Morris Fuller Benton, Ludlow’s Record Gothic existed as a stand-alone font in a single weight for many decades. Additional styles were added in an ‘ad hoc’ fashion, by many different hands, over the coming decades, with each new iteration taking on the stylistic quirks of their time. As a result, Ludlow’s unusual hybrid family has produced a rather charming anomaly in the annals of type.
