I love this font. Too bad that support for most extra latin characters is missing. Besides that, it's perfect. :)

Thanks, galo. Diacritics are on the way. Check again later this week.

Gorgeous typeface! Would you mind if i try to add cyrillic alphabet?

Please do, Anton. You certainly would do a better job than I. All I ask is that you name it WPA Gothic Cyrillic.

Great work, Stewfer! Until now I was only familiar with the results of another New Deal program, the Farm Security Administration (FSA). I love this font and the posters that inspired it! Thanks for all of the links, too!

Just amazing...10 points! (artwork too...it has that WPA "feeling" and its so...funny!) I´m working on a type from a poster of Jerome Roth (1936 WPA) too... :)

Heads of State used WPA Gothic on a book cover. Yay.

And customized it for the new Brokelyn.com?

Congratulations Stewf. That's great to see. Is this "State By State" cover for the paperback edition? I own the hard cover version which sports a different design.

Yes, it's the new paperback edition.

Congratulations on the use of your font, WPA Gothic, on the cover of "State by State." This is a wonderful achievement and adds additional legitimacy to fonts created here at Fontstruct; as well as the typographers who continue to passionately and arduously strive to make something significant from these simple little bricks. Salute.

Congratulations Stewf - how satisfying to see one's work in print :)

Love that cover, but isn't that a violation of your CC license? I only because I've avoided using FontStruct faces with similar licenses in the past and if I'm mistaken and can use them I'd love to know.

You're right, Spencer! I forgot I selected Non-commercial on this one. It would have been nice for the designers to contact me first.

Hi stewf - I am a pro musician with a graphic design background. I love this font, the guy I use for design proposed using your font, and it was the only thing close to what I wanted. Now that I understand a little more of the history that informs it, I know we couldn't have chosen a more perfect font! http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonh4/sets/72157622387440320/ http://www.frequencytheater.com/fr_home.cfm http://itunes.com/FrequencyTheater

I guess Creative Commons Non-Commercial Licenses still mean very little for many "graphic Designers"... Well at least the client thanks you for it :) Nice Font by the way!

@Stewf: In honor of these cool new editions of “WPA Gothic Gone Wild” (found in the wild, that is), I have made a 2.0-enabled clone to demonstrate some useful qualities of composite bricks. Let me know what you think : )

Probably my favorite WPA Gothic use so far: No Coast Craft-o-rama poster by Aesthetic Apparatus
