About Goldman

Goldman is a display sans serif with broad, low letters built from straight strokes and softened right angles. In the specimen the bowls of a, d, o and p are rounded rectangles, horizontals are long and flat, and capitals such as C, G and S close into squared shapes. According to the official notes, Jaikishan Patel designed Goldman for posters in genres including passion, science fiction, sports, drama and thriller. The notes assign a role to each weight: Regular for large headers and titles, Bold for heavyweight title designs. Both are static files without italics, and the family is not variable. Each font holds 637 glyphs across the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets, which the notes sum up as Western, Central and South Latin plus Vietnamese. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Goldman works

Film and series posters

Wide squared letters were drawn for genre posters, where a short title has to fill the sheet.

Sports graphics and jerseys

Flat horizontals and boxy numerals suit scoreboards, team names and match announcements.

Game and technology titles

Rounded-rectangle bowls give a mechanical look to a product name or menu header.

Thumbnails with two levels

Bold carries the main word and Regular a subtitle beneath it, both from one family.

Things to know

Wide letters use space

The glyphs are broad in the specimen, so even short words take a long line. Plan for few characters per row.

No italic

Goldman has upright Regular and Bold only.

Display use

The official notes describe both weights in terms of headers and titles, not running text.
