About Monotype Century Old Style™ Font Family ...
Designer: Morris Fuller Benton, 1906
The Monotype Century Old Style™ Font Family is part of the Monotype Originals.
The Century Old Style family was modeled on Century Expanded, which had been cut in 1900. Similar weights and proportions were maintained, but the letter shapes were made more elegant by the introduction of a number of old style characteristics. The Century Old Style family is a useful text design that offers good legibility and economy.
