The first font in a 1952’s company catalogue was called Gorton Normal.
Every stroke of Gorton is exactly the same thickness (typographers would call such fonts “monoline”). Every one of its endings is exactly the same rounded point. The italic is merely an oblique, slanted without any extra consideration, and while the condensed version has some changes compared to the regular width, those changes feel almost perfunctory.
Monoline fonts are not respected highly, because every type designer will tell you: This is not how you design a font.

The font has been used widely across the US and worldwide in the 70s. The example below from an old American engineering schematics
Today, a redesigned version is available for download from https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/ together with a selection of modern font implementations and other typographies with similar design.
