Morris Fuller Benton – born 30. 11. 1872 in Milwaukee, USA, died 30. 6. 1948 in Morristown, USA – engineer, type designer.
After training as a mechanic and engineer, Benton jointed the ATF, where he became type designer and in-house designer with ATF.
Fonts: Benton developed over 200 alphabets, all of which were published by ATF, including Century roman (with Theodor Low de Vinne, 1885), Mariage (1901), Alternate Gothic (1903), Franklin Gothic (1903–12), Cheltenham® (1904), Clearface® [...]
The designer Victor Caruso created the fonts ITC Bauhaus® (with Edward Benguiat, 1975), ITC Clearface®, ITC Franklin Gothic™, ITC Friz Quadrata bold, Friz Quadrata™ and ITC Kabel®.
David Berlow’s career in type has been a continual mix of the traditional and cutting edge. He entered the world of type design in 1978 as a letter designer for the Mergenthaler Linotype type foundry one of the oldest, still operating type foundries. After working for Linotype for four years, he was then one of the first employees of the newly formed digital type supplier, Bitstream, Inc. Berlow left Bitstream in 1989, to found his own company, The Font Bureau, with Roger Black.

Franklin Gothic® is one of the most popular sans serif fonts ever produced. It was designed by the famous type designer Morris Fuller Benton in 1903–12. The font was named for Benjamin Franklin.
As one of the nearly widely used sans serif typefaces Franklin Gothic® is even today a standard choice for use in newspapers and advertising. It is also frequently seen in posters, placards and anyplace with space restrictions.
ITC Franklin Gothic® is available as Value Pack for instant download for [...]
Bizarre and naked, sans serif alphabets joined the ranks of typefaces in the early 19th century when an English type foundry produced the first sans serif typeface in 1816.
But between 1810 and 1840, bold antiqua weights inspired by Bodoni and the newly developed slab serif linear antiqua typefaces were still more prominent and widely used in advertisements.
Even the creator of the first sans serif typeface, William Caslon, was not immediately convinced of the success of this new kind [...]
Font Designer: Morris F. Benton, 1904
Franklin Gothic™ font was designed in 1904 by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders Company and served as the American Grotesk prototype. The robust character of the font gives text a modern feel. Franklin Gothic font remains one of the most widely used sans serif typefaces even today.
Not your grandmother’ s medieval type ... meet the “American” Gothic fonts!
A breed of no-nonsense typefaces, called “Gothics” in the United States, have been serving as heavy hitters in financial services, business, and newspaper sectors since the late 19th Century. Gothic typefaces – not to be confused with Blackletter typefaces, which look “gothic” in a scary, medieval sort of way – are American sans serifs. Their forms are designed to solve [...]
About ITC Franklin Gothic™ by Adobe Medium Italic ...
Designer: Victor Caruso, 1980
ITC Franklin Gothic™ by Adobe Medium Italic belongs to the ITC Franklin Gothic™ by Adobe Font Family which is part of the ITC Collection.
Morris Fuller Benton designed Franklin Gothic for the American Type Founders Company in 1903-1912.Just as early types without serifs were known by the misnomer "grotesque" in Britain, and "grotesk" in Germany, they came to be described as "gothic" in America. There were already many "gothic" typefaces in North America by the early 1900s, but Benton's design was probably influenced by popular "grotesks" from Germany, like Basic Commercial, or D. Stempel AG's Reform. Franklin Gothic may have been named for Benjamin Franklin; however, the design has no historical relationship to that famous early American printer and statesman. Benton was a prolific designer, and he designed several other sans serif fonts, including Alternate Gothic, Lightline Gothic and News Gothic. In fact, News Gothic and Lightline Gothic could be seen as lighter "versions" of Franklin Gothic, and may be used together in the right design.
ITC Franklin Gothic is a large set of fonts based on Benton's work, with two skilled artisans behind the revival and expansion. In 1980, Victor Caruso re-drew the original Franklin Gothic and designed several more weights, and in 1991, David Berlow added several condensed and compressed weights. With dozens of weights and styles, this perennial favorite is ready for duty in any situation from tight corners on printed documents to powerhouse arenas on websites.
Recognizable aspects of Franklin Gothic include the two-story "a" and "g," subtle stroke contrast, and the thinning of round strokes as they merge into stems. The type appears dark and monotone overall, giving it a robustly modern look. Franklin Gothic is still one of the most widely used sans serifs; it's a suitable choice for newspapers, advertising and posters.
Another family with a similarly useful design is Trade Gothic.
