ottawa font

the ottawa font follows on the heels of the gotham font. It couldn’t be helped -:)

Whereas, the gotham font has a very clean, linear architectural feel (with minimal descenders visually accentuating the horizontal baseline), the ottawa font re-introduces the cross-t descender (though much more subtly than the singspiel font)..

Whereas the singspiel font presents a visual rhythmic cadence with its prominent lower case f and t descenders, the ottawa font’s emphasis leans towards a more neutral presentation. The upward flare of ottawa’s less accentuated descending t (and f), adjacent to other descending glyphs, goes largely unnoticed (despite its frequency), instead, feeling more appropriately proportioned.

The font has a pleasing rendering, though, gotham’s leaner horizontal presentation should feel more familiar for most. i happen to like both these fonts and, so far, have be leaning towards this variant for its character and readability—despite the uniqueness of the descending t, it does render more legible.

As always, YMMV.
