Hey guys,
Is Century Gothic a good font for printing?
If not then what is a good substitute?

ok I'm no typography buff but I notice some of u folks are really into it.
In some threads I have seen that folks will say, that font is for the web or this font is for print or whatever.
So I'm trying to redesign my shitty logo to something more simple and while scrolling thru the fonts in my system, Century Gothic stuck out.
So I'm asking is it a font that is recomended for printing purposes or is it solely for screen or whatever.
I don't want to b redundant.

It's made for print, yes. But it's really a bad copy of Avant Garde. I'd recommend that face if you want the 70s-80s geometric look.
