I'm not sure, go ahead and send me the Gotham files and I will try them out with some serifs and get back to you.

gotham as headline.. ofcourse.
well, it seems not as legible as a good serif..

I just used Gotham on a project with Adobe Garamond and was pleased with the result. All Uppercase on the Gotham. It's a difficult typeface to kern perfectly, but necessary.

Crouwel - What's the project? Gotham is so quiet it will go well with anything. What's more important is the content and audience of your piece.
BTW, Gotham does amazingly well as text.
Arvizu - Surprised to hear you don't trust the kerning of Tobias Frere-Jones. Show me what you did!

Gotham = difficult typeface to kern perfectly?
hmmm... uh oh.

Gotham practically kerns itself imho. It tends to be a bit loose, but it is consistent and balanced.

* a bit open in it's default spacing is what I meant to say.

I kern my annual reports texts one letter at a time. Makes for a more "human" feel.

Custom kern for logos.
Optical/custom kern for headlines. Auto/Metrics for the rest.

Thanks Typo. And everyone else ofcourse.
I just want to buy a good sans-serif and want to use it for my own mailings and such. i love how gotham looks in headings and such and would like to see something contrasting yet not disturbing for the body text etc.
and i am still a bit of a sucker for nice serifs for larger amounts of text.
