When type designers start a new font project, they start with drawing basic forms. Thereafter a couple of letters are put together to a word that contains most of the basic forms. These »sketches« decide if the idea for the new font is any good. »FRANKLIN GOTHIC SKETCH« has been left in that state. The font looks smooth in small sizes, in big sizes the edges show and give the glyphs a brute appearance, that makes this font special.
