Designed by Lucas Sharp, released by Sharp Type
Sharp Grotesk is a sans-serif typeface designed by Lucas Sharp and released through Sharp Type in 2017. The design was inspired by nineteenth century wood type combined with Adrian Frutiger’s technical design process. The family is available in a massive collection of 21 widths and seven weights, most with italics, for a total of 249 fonts. Sharp has plans to release the family as a variable font in the future to make it easier to work with the huge variety of available styles on the web.
Designed by Morris Fuller Benton, released by Linotype
Franklin Gothic was designed by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders Company in 1903-1912. Early types without serifs were known by the misnomer "gothic" in America ("grotesque" in Britain and "grotesk" in Germany). There were already many gothics in America in the early 1900s, but Benton was probably influenced by the popular German grotesks: Basic Commercial and Reform from D. Stempel AG. Franklin Gothic may have been named for Benjamin Franklin, though the design has no historical relationship to that famous early American printer and statesman. Benton was a prolific designer, and he designed several other sans serif fonts, including Alternate Gothic, Lightline Gothic and News Gothic. Recognizable aspects of Franklin Gothic include the two-story a and g, subtle stroke contrast, and the thinning of round strokes as they merge into stems. The type appears dark and monotone overall, giving it a robustly modern look. Franklin Gothic is still one of the most widely used sans serifs; it's a suitable choice for newspapers, advertising and posters.
