What decade did gothic genre become a trend?

Gothic Rock came about as part of the post-punk movement in the 1970s. It was the main influence on what would later become known as Industrial. Gothic Metal is a term which first came about when Paradise Lost released their album Gothic in the early 1990s. Now, most so-called "Gothic Metal" bands are neither gothic nor Metal. Gothmetal.net, for example, has a tendency to list any band with a female singer as such, which is a bit absurd.

What is a Gothic typeface?

Gothic fonts are sans serif typefaces. Serifs are the cross strokes at the ends of the main strokes of a letter. Gothic fonts are relatively uniform in stroke weight. There are various styles of Gothic typefaces. They are also sometimes called sans serif or block letter. Gothic fonts should not be confused with Old English or blackletter typefaces.
