What does Gotham font have to do with Gotham in Batman?
According to the information consulted, their relationship is "new york". Gotham is another name for new york proposed by Washington Irving in 1807. [* 1] Gotham fonts are inspired by old fonts on the streets of new york, such as iron characters on shop nameplates, neon characters and fonts on car stickers. Font creator friel Jones designed Gotham fonts by taking photos of these fonts in the street. [*2] Gotham City in Batman was inspired by a 1 jewelry store named Gotham Jewelry Store found in the phone book by author Bill Finger when he named Batman's city. And Gotham in Gotham Jeweler is another name from new york. [*3] So I think both the font creator and Batman author named their works because of new york's alias Gotham. [* 1]/fonts/font _ history .
