Gotham Fonts

Carleton uses Gotham fonts as its primary font on official communications. Gotham is a licensed font, and College Communications has a very limited number of licenses. Please contact College Communications with any questions.

In places where Gotham fonts are not available, people should use Helvetica or Arial fonts.

Troubleshooting Fonts Not Working Correctly

• College Communications licenses their fonts through https://www.typography.com/, and Gotham is sold by Hoefler&Co
• In general, proprietary fonts like this should be installed on the computer rather than within a specific application
  • macOS: install fonts
  • Windows: install fonts
• It seems that the "Adobe PDF" printer that's available to licensed Adobe users who want to "Print to PDF" does not reliably recognize system fonts. So for people who need to print to PDF rather than Save As or Export to PDF, there are two options:
  1. Use the printer called "Microsoft Print to PDF" rather than the printer called "Adobe PDF"
  2. Adjust the Adobe PDF Printer settings by going to Control Panel > View Devices and Printers > Right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select Printing Preferences > Uncheck the box that says "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts."
