Alternatives to Franklin Gothic, Trade Gothic, and News Gothic
I like fonts like Franklin, Trade and News Gothic a lot. But i think they are all used to much.
Do you know some fresh Alternatives.

Hello Mike,
Capone is renamed to Eminio (the brother of Al Capone), because there already is a Capone Light from Monotype.
Thanks for mentioning!

In this vein, I’ve long admired Mario Feliciano’s Grotzec, but I haven’t had occasion to license it or try it out.
