gotham is the new avant garde. a good font, but wayyyy overused. i see it every-friggin-where i look. what was once a nice serif to make your whatever stand out, now means you are one of a crowd.
.......what did you expected from a typeface that was originally designed to be used for a world wide pop magazine? an underground feel?
a sense of originality? a unique look? were you trying to decided between trajan and gotham initially?Am I being punked right now? is this ashton kutcher ?
- but... that's not gotham...bigtrickagain

Its a slick typeface, I got accused of being an 'amateur' by my ex boss for using it though on a recent project. So I used Helvetica instead, this made him happy.
