ITC Avant Garde Gothic was originally designed in 1970 by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase. The typeface's origins lie in the logo created for Avant Garde magazine, a collaboration between Lubalin and publisher Ralph Ginzburg. The Extra Light (XLt) Regular weight provides a refined, airy interpretation of the geometric style, emphasizing the font's circular proportions and minimalist construction that became a symbol of modernism in the late 20th century.

The Pro version of this typeface includes an expanded character set and advanced OpenType features, making it highly versatile for international design projects. Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, it is characterized by its wide apertures and strict geometric shapes. This specific light weight is particularly favored by designers for its ability to convey sophistication and contemporary elegance without overwhelming the visual space.
