Goldman Sachs Font: Goldman Sans and Data-Table Typography

The Goldman Sachs type-design presentation credits Dalton Maag’s Bianca Berning and Rob Pratley, with Michael Craig directing for Goldman Sachs. It describes open apertures, a raised x-height and compact proportions. The numeric set was developed early, including a distinctive diagonal detail to distinguish 5 from S and fixed numeral spacing across weights for column alignment. This identifies Goldman Sans, not the unrelated Goldman display family and not every serif or logo treatment the firm has ever used.

Create five fictional rows with short labels, several different digit lengths and a consistent decimal separator. Keep the original values in a separate plain table, then inspect the typeset result at the intended reading size. Compare a highlighted row with the ordinary rows: a weight change should not silently shift numeric columns. Include mixed examples such as S5 and O0 in a specimen margin when those distinctions matter to the project. A large isolated numeral cannot answer these questions about an entire table.

Add a heading, explanatory note and one italic phrase around the table. Give the note a comfortable measure instead of squeezing it into the leftover width. Inter and Source Sans 3 are independent data-layout comparisons, not Goldman Sans files. Our homepage Unicode styling tools change copied characters; they do not apply a font’s numeral widths or preserve tabular metrics across applications. Use the original resource and relevant project terms when evaluating the actual family.
