Kind of off-topic but Hoefler didn’t actually design Gotham (and scammed his business partner Frere-Jones who actually designed the Gotham)

The decimal design notes were also linked in the article. An absolutely stunning font.

Do you know what the current state of the Hoefler vs. Frere-Jones is? I love the thorough approach to design they take with their typefaces, but wouldn’t want to license them if I know the original designer got scammed out of his profits.
