How can I obtain Gotham font (or a font similar thereto) without paying an arm and a leg?
What do you plan to do with it?

Myriad Pro is pretty much a clone of Frutiger. It has no resemblance to Gotham.

Pay for it! Tobias and Jonathan are nice, hardworking artists. Believe me, they're not making bank.
If not, Avenir is the closest you're likely to get.

@zadcat: Myriad Pro certainly does share characteristics with Gotham. A comparison: http://no.gd/gotham-myriad.png. It has its differences, but is far closer than earlier answers like Gill Sans, Futura, Museo, Caviar Dreams..

- Telegrafico
- Nevis
- Museo Sans
- Quicksand
- Surrounding
- Caviar Dreams
- League Gothic
- Franchise Bold
Not free, but installed in many computers: Futura, Century Gothic, Gill Sans, Humanist 521.Most of these might pass the test when used in uppercase only. Some of the free fonts are a bit low quality (bad kerning, etc).
