About

The Design of Science Gothic

Thomas Phinney

Sans Serif

Open Source

Science Gothic Typeface font is a corporate grotesk family by Thomas Phinney with Cyrillic support designed for scientific and technical applications. This basic family brings professional typography to academic publishing, research documentation, and technical communications. Science Gothic's balanced proportions suit scientific texts. Particularly valuable for journals, theses, and technical documentation. Works for documents and presentations. Pairs with complementary fonts.

Science Gothic comes from the work of Thomas Phinney. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Sans Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Lineal classification, Science Gothic features no serif extensions on stroke terminals and stroke contrast ranging from monolinear to subtly modulated. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for user interface text and navigation elements.

Science Gothic is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency spanning screen and print contexts, with 4 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
