A font we can believe in.
Why yes, I think palooka invented it here. Oprah's the queen bee. Or is it Michelle, or Maria, or Caroline?!

Gotham's also a nickname for New York City, which features many of those golden era relic signs. What a web of trivia :)
Gotham is the archetypal Art Deco font, very reminiscent of the 1920s' fascination with modernism, cities and progress.

No-nonsense, sans-serif. This typeface screams America. It is reminiscent of the type and signage of a previous era. The golden age of industry and manufacturing.
All those "CHANGE" signs held up by Obamarama mamas you see, they're Gotham. John Edwards' campaign also featured it prominently.
