- Handel Gothic is a geometric sans-serif typeface. The typeface was designed in 1965 by Donald J. Handel (1936–2002), who worked for the graphic designer Saul Bass. When first released, Handel Gothic was an instant success. The typeface was originally distributed in film format by FotoStar and was reissued in the 1980s by Robert Trogman. It was a popular font in the 1980s due to its futuristic design, and even today is used to signify the future; it has been used in the credits of both Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as well as the logo for Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Handel Gothic was also used for the end credits on CBS's The Price Is Right from 1972 to 1981. Handel Gothic was also used for the end credits of Sesame Street (1983-1992). The Elsner+Flake, Linotype and URW++ versions use a curved leg on uppercase R (like that of Helvetica), a horizontal tail on the uppercase Q (like that of Univers), a curved lower leg on the lowercase k, and a trident-like lowercase w. The Bitstream and Tilde SIA versions, however, use a thicker 1, a straight leg on the uppercase R (like that of Akzidenz-Grotesk), a straight lower leg on the lowercase k, and a double-v w. Christian Schwartz designed the Simian Display typeface, inspired from the Handel Gothic typeface, with OpenType features. (en)
