  Why is there no gotham in https://typekit.com or http://webfonts.fonts.com/ ?? wtf...

  Anyone know if it's possible to use gotham without using sifr/cufon?

  thanks

  Funny you should ask. I was working on a project not two weeks ago requiring Gotham. There was no way to go about it other than looking at a free or usable alternative font-face-able solution...
  We presented these to the client but in the end we opted for Arial.

  I'll speak to the lead designer on the project and see if I can find out what those fonts were.

  To be honest I think that there is a purchasable license, not 100%, I've emailed my guy.

  Proxima Nova from Typekit is a half-decent alternative.

  H&FJ are working on a webfont solution as far as I know. It has been implemented in a few places; http://kottke.org/12/03/kottkeor… for example. Looks like it will be pretty solid when it comes out of private beta.

  yes proxima looks solid although im still not a fan of using two different typefaces one which has been approved for print and a different one for web.

  This is solid as well mostly for headings

  I would also suggest Proxima Nova. It's a gotham nock off, but it'll do. At copy size it's a pleasant and readable type face. It can fall apart at display sizes, kind of depends on the weight.

  Museo Sans is also quite close. I've used that as a sub for Gotham on sites.

  I had to replace Gotham Rounded and used Bryant, which is pretty nice, though it definitely has a bit of a different character.
