## About Carrois Gothic

Carrois Gothic is a sans serif typeface of the plain gothic kind: upright, monoline and free of ornament. In the specimen the letters are a touch narrower than usual, with straight-sided curves on C, G and O, a two-storey a, a single-storey g and a simple vertical-stemmed t. The numerals are open and set with generous space between them, and punctuation is equally unadorned. The official notes call the design well balanced and modern and mention a small-caps sister family for more ceremonial uses. The designer credit is Carrois Apostrophe, while the name table and copyright notice give Ralph du Carrois and reserve the name Carrois. There is one Regular style, no italic or bold, and no variable axis. The file contains 261 glyphs in the Latin subset, which covers Western European languages; French is complete apart from the rare capital Ÿ.

## Where it works

- **Clean section headings**: Upright monoline letters give a heading a neutral voice that does not compete with images.
- **Labels and captions**: Slightly narrow proportions fit a caption or tag into limited width.
- **Signs and notices**: Simple forms and open numerals keep room numbers and short directions clear.
- **Tables with figures**: Widely spaced, open numerals stay distinct in a price list or timetable.

## Things to know

- **One weight**: Carrois Gothic has Regular 400 only.
- **Basic Latin only**: With 261 glyphs and no Latin Extended subset, Central European and Turkish letters are not fully covered.
- **Small caps are a separate family**: The official notes point to a Small Caps sister family; it is not included in this download.
