Where can we download this font?


You can get Marcin Wichary’s version from https://shifthappens.site/store/

Routed Gothic is a fairly good free version https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/

The national park typeface is another pantograph router style font https://nationalparktypeface.com/


The article links to an ‘appendix’ of known digital versions, though it's easy to miss: https://aresluna.org/the-hardest-working-font-in-manhattan/r...


https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/

Also links a number of variations.

Another font is “Simplex”, which I think is often still found in CAD products.


The ANSI Y14.2 committee has a version of the font available for download here, created by Peter Karnold.

Gorton Digital (https://github.com/drdnar/GortonDigital) seems like a faithful reproduction.



But as anyone who finished the article knows, that's Gorton Modified. Check the 3, 7 and Q.


I finished it - the article, quite a lengthy one. Though I never stated say it's the original Gorton. The Gortons I found were all for sale, this one is open.
