Acme Gothic was developed by Mark Simonson and published by Mark Simonson. Acme Gothic includes 25 styles and household package choices. p > Acme Gothic (2018) is based on the thick and thin gothic lettering design popular in the U.S. in the first half of the twentieth century. There have been typefaces in this genre previously, however they were either too quirky (World Gothic), too English (Britannic), too Art Deco (Koloss), too modern-day (Glowing), or too Art Nouveau (Flair). None catches the plain, workman-like design of Acme Gothic.

There are five widths (Compressed, Condensed, regular, Wide, and Extrawide) each with five weights (Light, Regular, Semibold, Bold, and Black) for a total of 25 various designs. Acme Gothic has comprehensive language assistance, covering most Latin-based writing systems. Acme Gothic also consists of both little caps and raised little caps (accessed through an OpenType stylistic set) both of which can be found in classic examples of this lettering design.
