Design & features
Zero Gothic was built with FontLab Studio and Musashi System OTEdit. Its strokes are cut and split into a broken, damaged look with huge impact—great for titles and logos.
It has 8,000+ characters and supports Traditional Chinese, but most Simplified characters are missing.
Best uses
Zero Gothic shines in streetwear visuals and event poster headlines, and is a good fit for headline captions on app screenshots too. For headlines, tighten the tracking a little and size it well above body text for a clear hierarchy.
