I’ll be honest, I have no clue what a gothic sans serif is supposed to look like because to me it looks like any other sans serif. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong stuff, but I did a little research and apparently the “Chanel” font is a Gothic sans. The specific font name is Couture. The other example I have is from my collection. The title “Yu-Gi-Oh” looks halloweenie (haha, weenie-) enough so I’m just going to say it’s gothic.

Honesty is always the best policy. And you’re right. One could say that all Sans Serifs are Gothic because waaaaaay back in the day, folks thought type without feet were ugly and . . . shudder . . . Gothic. Also, nothing says “Five-Headed Dragon” like a Blackletter kind of Gothic.
Huh, good to know! I never would’ve thought “feet” to be appealing… well not to me at least. There are a number of people that would probably think otherwise…
