A sans that originated at Central Type Foundry, probably just before Central merged with ATF in 1892. ATF continued to sell the face after the merger, and it was also adapted for Monotype as Series 176 (with notable modifications) and Series 276 (later, much closer to the original). Those designs have been shown under multiple names, including Lining Gothic, Mid-Gothic, and Mid-Gothic No. 2. Hansen made a copy named Medium Gothic No. 7, and an inline version named Boston Gothic. [McGrew 1993] Linotype also offered matrices for Mid-Gothic figures [<1939 Linotype], and Nebiolo’s Etrusco series included a copy as Etrusco nerrisimo stretto [1935 Nebiolo].
