The right way to BE UNIQUE

Gotham

 

From my mentors, I learned that small decisions affect big ones. I also cultivated a natural inclination for historical research as the foundation of typography

Anima Linotype

Visible from the outside due to the subtle transparency of the acetate and made to an exclusive Good’s design, it reproduces - with an engraved inscription - the right way to look at things developed from right to left, like the lead lines produced by the traditional Linotype typographic machine, invented in 1886 and defined by Thomas Edison as The Eighth Wonder of the World.

Inspiration

Our Gotham frame style is inspired by the homonymous typeface designed by Tobias FrereJones for Hoefler & Frere-Jones in 2000 and made undisputedly popular by Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. In the making of Gotham, Frere-Jones captured the aesthetics of old city signs, such as the one placed on the entrance to the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal, creating a fresh, geometric font that is harmonious yet assertive.

Description

Biocetate: the frame is in Mazzucchelli M49 bioacetate, 100% recyclable and biodegradable, without chemical agglomerates to avoid allergic reactions and its natural origin is also revealed to the touch with a pleasant “warm and silky effect”.

Frame front: our Gotham frame style is intended to echo the bold yet essential and geometric look of the original font used by Obama. The result is thus a frame with a decidedly born-in-the-US taste, which nods to the iconic aviator teardrop glasses with a double bridge.

Temples: the sail-style temples owe their name to the shape that resembles a rudder tiller. The earpiece temple tip is pierced with an “O” inspired by Good’s branding

Curiosity

The idea on which Frere-Jones was based is linked to the old city signs. To define his font, he took thousands of photographs to capture those characters that were now wearing out under the snares of time.
