    This is an incredible typeface.
    Thank you so very much for offering it to all of us mere mortals. ;-P

    I shall be using it in an upcoming design job of mine.
    Again, thanks so much!

  • M Gagarin says:

    Very nice work, I like it a lot. Thanks!

  • Rahul Bhushan says:

    Thanks for Nevis. What a nice freebie. Like your general design sense too, no gratuitous junk and carefully modulated brightness. Best of luck to you.

    What is smallest px sizel you recommend using Nevis?

  • Ed Merritt says:

    @Rahul – if you’re using lowercase characters, I’d keep the size above 12pt. If you’re just using uppercase though, they seem clear down to about 10pt.

    Thanks for the kind words folks – look out for more typefaces coming soon…

  • daf says:

    This is an awesome font. Thank you so much!

  • liam says:

    Appreciate the effort you’ve put into this, thanks!

  • Tim Morrison says:

    Cheers dude, very much appreciated

  • Lachlan says:

    A lovely and well proportioned sans serif font. I love the angles. Thanks for giving it to us as free. :)

  • Jens Alfke says:

    This is quite a nice design! It has the flavor of early 20th-century sans-serifs like Gill Sans and Futura, without being merely a clone.

    Unfortunately, it shows some significant rendering glitches on my system (Mac OS X 10.5.) The vertical stem of the “B” is completely separated from the rest of the character, and a dozen or so other characters have thin gaps inside the strokes where it looks like you’ve overlapped two paths. Here’s a screenshot:

    I used to work on font-design software a long time ago. As far as I recall, it’s not kosher to have overlapping paths, or to make a single stroke out of two paths that abut (as in the “B”). It will cause problems when outlining or shadowing the characters, in addition to possibly causing the kinds of problems I’m seeing.

    The software you’re using should have some sort of merge-paths command that would fix this; if not, you should be able to export the paths to Illustrator and fix them there.

    Now that Safari supports downloadable fonts, I’m interested in using Nevis for headlines in my blog, so I hope you can fix these problems!

  • Jens Alfke says:

    Oops, looks like your blog didn’t like the IMG tag in my comment. Here’s the URL of the screenshot showing the glitches:

  • Marc says:

    Looks great… now it only need the “german umlauts”. You know? ä ü ö ß Ä Ö Ü
    :-)

  • Josh Minnich says:

    Wow, this font looks very nice! Thanks for making this available!

  • Josh Sender says:

    This font is simply amazing. Smooth, crisp, easy on the eyes, and perfect for logos or titles. Thank you for this.

  • Ed Merritt says:

    Thanks for all the kind words folks.

    @Jens Alfke – Thanks for the useful feedback. I’ve uploaded a new version which hopefully fixes all the bugs ie. every glyph is now a single path.

    @Marc – I’ll try and include the most commonly used accents aand umlauts in the next update.

  • Matt Radel says:

    Groovy font. It reminds me a bit of Trade Gothic mixed with Gotham. Beautiful and clean.

  • Josh McMillan says:

    This font is so awesome! Keep up the great work!

  • Webhome says:

    A strong impression combined with style! Nice Work!

  • Sangesh says:

    Awesome, just awesome. I feel it has a very corporate looks. Thanks mate.

  • Stewart says:

    Just wanted to say thanks for making this available, it’s a great font!

  • Michael S. says:

    Is it permissible to embed Nevis into web pages via CSS web fonts?

  • Johann says:

    I immediately liked this one. So much that I used it for my new logo that you can see at

    I think the makers of Gotham may regard Nevis as a breach of copyright…

  • gaTO says:

    Nice font! Thanks for sharing it out for free. Appreciate it. Keep it up, dude!

  • francine says:

    Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate it! :)

    It is a wonderful font.

  • Jean-Sien says:

    Great font, thanx for sharing this! but I think the question mark, the exclamation mark and the apostrophe do not fit so well the rest of the characters, which are crisply and angularly drawn.

  • STEVI3 says:

    AN AMAZING FONT

  • Pedro says:

    Great work! Lovely font.

  • James Deer says:

    An absolute beauty.

  • matt says:

    This font is a copy of Gotham with a few mods like sharpening the ends a bit more.. looks cool though!

  • Nathan A says:

    For those of you concerned about copyright, you’ve not done your research. You can’t copyright typefaces. The only way these type houses get away with charging you half your liver, a kidney and a first born is because they can copyright the binary program that is the typeface. They cannot copyright the look.

    So unless Ten by Twenty has taken and cracked Gotham…this isn’t an issue.

  • velvet says:

    Many thanks. Lovely typeface and just what I needed.

  • Fire 2R says:

    Thanks..I take too much in here.

  • Paul Anthony Webb says:

    This font reminds me of ice cream … it’s so smooth. Thanks for making this available, I’m gonna blog about it now. :p

  • ammie says:

  • steed griffin says:

  • Napolux says:

    Really awesome :)

  • putera_aladin says:

    very nice font.i love it.thanks for sharing!

  • Leon says:

    Hey, given you can’t copyright a “look”, have you thought about releasing this under the Open Font License (or an equivalent)? That license requires attribution.

  • Michael says:

    Glad to see that there are still exceptionally designed fonts available for free.
    Thanks.

  • Dre Fillmore says:

    This has become my favorite font in the past week. It’s creeping into all of my work. I adore it. Thanks a million for the d/l.

  • Bryce says:

    Fantastic font! I’d love to see it in a regular width version.

  • andy says:

    wow…!! nice font! I’m definitely gonna need it ! thanks!!

    Wow. I can see this making its way into a lot of logos. Very nice.

  • Chrisso says:

    Fantastic! I’ll be using this quite a lot. Thanks.

  • Thomas says:

    I love this font, great design as well!

  • Marcos says:

    Very nice typeface. I’m going to try this out for an album packaging job. Thanks for putting it out there!

  • Silas says:

    This font contains characters that are the exact same as Gotham Bold…. While this may or may not be illegal, its certainly something to be frowned upon as dishonest and shows a lack of creativity.

  • Jake G. says:

    Love it! But it could use a thinner version, in other words…it’s very nice…but as a bold.

  • Krusade says:

    This is a great typeface. Very nice of you to share. Thank you!

  • Birgit says:

    looks nice, thanks for sharing!

  • Patricia Ann says:

    I have to say, one of THE best free fonts I’ve seen it’s ridiculous. Thank you so much!

  • Michael says:

    PHENOMENAL PHACE!

    As soon as I installed this typeface I used it on a personal project. This is a champion and needs to be expanded immediately. I will pay for this tenXtwenty times over

  • Tony says:

    Thanks for this kick a$$ font!
    This one is a clear winner amongst the load of useless fonts loaded on my machine.

  • Geek! says:

    Thank you it’s lovely! Used in our mini-project, Geek!.
    Greatly appreciated!

  • future says:

    Wow, very good!)

  • Ismael says:

    This is wonderful. Thank you.

    To the people comparing it to Gotham: uh, duh. Of course this looks similar to Gotham Bold, but then, Neutraface Bold could be called similar. It’s in the details where a typeface’s character lies, and Nevis has some very different details (compare the A’s, K’s, M’s, S’s and Q’s and you’ll see).

    Gotham was an involved, time consuming project, with many variations and weights. This is one free font in one weight, which looks gorgeous in certain places. Be grateful.

  • Fredrik says:

    Thank you very much! Really nice font.

  • вopcepдeчки says:

  • Eric says:

    Beautiful font! Thank you very much!

  • Debiny says:

    Jens, Rather than bitch about the software glitches, just buy the $299 version of Gotham instead. As for me, thanks very much for making this available. I appreciate not having to cough up the $299! It is a rather handsome font, as Barrack Obama will attest! :D

  • Paolo Valzania says:

    Very nice font, thank you!

  • David B. says:

    @Jon – While similar, you can clearly see the differences in the glyphs. Gotham has a similar feel, but a number of details are quite different. Look especially at: s, i, j, y, F, E, Q, 1, 7, @, etc… There is quite a difference in kerning as well.

    Excellent set! Thanks so much :)

    Nice, clean font. Love it! Thanks so much!

  • Lukasz Bachur says:

    Not enough characters :( . There is no special letters like ąśźćółę… Are you planning to add it? This font is very interesting.

    Regards.

  • zeally says:

    Thank you for the nice font

  • Tarjetas personales says:

    Best font, use for personal card design

  • David S says:

    This is an outstanding font – just fabulous!

    To me, Nevis has perhaps the unique quality of being a sans-serif without losing the “warmth” of being human that seems so much more common with serif fonts. I haven’t seen very many sans serif fonts – if any – that can claim the same benefit. Very accomplished work!

    Thank you so much for this excellent resource.

  • cool designs says:

    thnks for this true type font !

  • Eric Taylor says:

    Hey Ed just wanted to let you know there are some technical problems with your font. Your Naming profiles in your font are all messed up, and all fields are missing from the Windows Profile. This causes an issue for web developers that wish to use the font via the @font-face.

    As your font file stands right now, using the @font-face will work on Safari on Mac, but will not work anywhere else.

    I have taken the liberty of fixing the file for my own use, and I’d be more then happy to share it with you and others so that everyone can use your wonderful font on the way. You can contact me via the contact info I provided.

    P.S. Thanks for the great font.

    -Eric

    Hello I would apreciate to use your wonderful font.
    Unfortunatally we have in germany a lot of umlauts (ÄÖÜ äöü).
    Are you planning to implement these letters?

    That’s the only reason I can’t your font in the moment.

    Best wishes from germany – Paul

    PS: I am really looking forward to use your font with the umlauts.

  • Karen K says:

    Thank you so much. Nevis is a lovely font and pretty much saved me from admitting “I don’t have the font” to a client who wanted a 4-number replacement for a header originally in Gotham. Yeah!

  • Kyle says:

    I’m shocked that you’re giving away such an excellent typeface for free, but very grateful. Thank you!

  • Enrico says:

    I think your font is strongly inspired to the work of Neville Brody (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Brody).
    Is the name a clue? Shouldn’t you declare your sources? ;)

    Thanks!

  • Poe says:

    Brilliant, just brilliant work! This is the exact font I’ve been looking for, something with the clean feel of futura but the round feel of Gotham. I’ve been itchin’ to get Gotham for years but the “M” and “N”s didn’t set right with my style. And Nevis is very different than Gotham, just look at the letters.

    Any chance we’ll see a medium version or book version to Nevis? Would love to have some options with this font. And I would be willing to fork over some dollies for the set.

    Awesome job. Thanks!
