HessGothicRoundNFW01-Bold Regular is a contemporary revival designed by Nick Curtis, based on the classic typeface designs of Sol Hess. This font captures the essence of early 20th-century geometric sans-serifs but modifies them with soft, rounded terminals. This adjustment transforms the stern, industrial feel of traditional gothic type into a more approachable and friendly aesthetic, making it suitable for modern digital and print interfaces.

Historically, the original Hess Gothic was a staple of Lanston Monotype's library, known for its clarity and functional design. Nick Curtis's interpretation, specifically in the Bold weight, emphasizes visual weight and legibility, making it an excellent choice for designers who need a font that stands out without feeling aggressive. It seamlessly bridges the gap between Art Deco elegance and modern geometric precision.
