Typography

Gotham Narrow Book is the AM digital typeface. This is the standard font used for our Digital Product Suite and should be used in most instances in one-off experiences. The Gotham Narrow font family was designed and is distributed by Hoefler & Co. Please get in touch with your Museum digital contact regarding licensing.

Below is the standard size, weight, line height and letter spacing specified for a 24” size touchscreen (landscape) in the Digital Product Suite. The size of the text is variable to the actual size of the touchscreen, so the size of the text will differ depending on the scale and design of the experience you are developing.
