Is Bank Gothic free?
No. Bank Gothic is a paid typeface, sold by Bitstream. The free fonts on this page are free for commercial use too, under open licences.
Who designed Bank Gothic?
Bank Gothic was designed by Morris Fuller Benton, and first issued by American Type Founders in 1930.
Can I use Bank Gothic in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word, only after you install a licensed copy: neither Windows nor Microsoft 365 comes with Bank Gothic. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and Bank Gothic isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, Orbitron, Exo 2 and Monda are there, under More fonts. Canva publishes no list of its fonts: search its font menu, or, with Canva Pro, upload a font whose licence allows it.
What is the closest free alternative to Bank Gothic?
FontKind hasn’t measured Bank Gothic: it has no licensed copy of it, so this page doesn’t rank free fonts by how close they come. The free fonts whose own descriptions name it, or its model, are Orbitron. Beside them, Exo 2, Monda and Jura are square sans serifs in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to Bank Gothic.
