About Pathway Gothic One

Pathway Gothic One is a sans serif with strongly compressed letters. In the specimen the capitals and lowercase are tall and narrow, the strokes keep an almost constant thickness, and round letters such as O, C and G are drawn as upright ovals with straight sides. The lowercase is high in relation to the capitals, so mixed-case lines stay compact in both directions. The official notes place the design in the tradition of narrow grotesques and call this book weight the first of a planned series; so far the family is the single Regular file, with no bold or italic and no variable version. Eduardo Tunni is the designer. The notes record a March 2023 update that enlarged the glyph set and added fractions. Its 425 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended subsets, including Turkish, Polish, Czech and Romanian letters.

Where Pathway Gothic One works

Long headlines in narrow columns
Compressed letters fit a full sentence across a mobile screen or a single newspaper column.
Navigation bars and tabs
Narrow widths let several menu labels share one row without shrinking the font size.
Posters with stacked lines
Tall ovals and even strokes build solid blocks when lines are stacked at large sizes.
Tables, labels and price tags
Slim digits save horizontal room, and the fractions added in 2023 serve measurements and recipes.
