Emerson is a typeface designed by Joseph Blumenthal. In 1930, the type was cut by Louis Hoell at the Bauer Type Foundry in Frankfurt and named Spiral. Then in 1935, Stanley Morison recut the type, along with its italic, for the Monotype Corporation in England. The typeface's first appearance was in a special, private-press edition of Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Nature, and so the Monotype version became known as Emerson.

Emerson can be recognised for its distinctive foot serifs on the lowercase a, d and u, and its wide capitals (especially the M). The typeface shares characteristics with the classic renaissance types, and its soft, blunt appearance was designed to suit photogravure reproduction.

Emerson, also called Downtown East, is a neighborhood in north-central Gary, Indiana. Emerson and Downtown West combine to form what is known as Downtown Gary. It was part of the original plat built by the United States Steel Corporation. It is located East of Broadway, south of the Grand Calumet River, north of 9th Avenue and west of Interstate 65. As of 2000, Emerson had a population of 3,358. Emerson borders directly on Downtown West to the west, but is separated from the Aetna and Pulaski neighborhoods to the east and south by an industrial corridor.

The Emerson neighborhood suffers from extensive vacant lots and abandoned buildings. It has the least number of housing units in the city. About 40% of the housing stock are owner-occupied. There were 44 new housing units built between 5th and 6th Avenue. Emerson is served by the Gary Main Post Office. In the past it was served by the now decaying E.A. Spaulding Elementary School and Emerson School for Visual and Performing Arts both schools now stand vacant. Emerson has two city parks Buffington Park and Idle Hour Park and the larger portion of Gateway Park.

Gary City Hall is located in Emerson along with the Indiana Department of Social Services building and the Calumet Township Trustee’s office. In 2001 the U.S. Steel Yard baseball stadium was built in an effort to stimulate a rebirth of the downtown. It was built on what was once a fairly blighted section of housing. Its construction was highly controversial. However, it has proven somewhat successful drawing fans from surrounding communities. In September 2009, the one millionth fan walked into the U.S. Steel Yard. Much of the commercial property along Broadway is now vacant. Some newer properties are located along 5th Avenue.

The neighborhood is served by the Indiana Toll Road directly to its north, which has exits at Broadway and 5th Avenue, by Interstate 65 to the east, which has an exit on 5th Avenue, and by US 12 /20 also to the north. Public transportation is provided by the buses of the Gary Public Transportation Corporation, which run along Broadway and 5th Avenue.
