About Clearface Gothic by Adobe Font Family ...
Designer: Linotype Design Studio, 1984
The Clearface Gothic by Adobe Font Family is part of the Linotype Originals.
Clearface Gothic first appeared in 1910, designed by Morris Fuller Benton, the world-famously prolific typeface artist. In addition to Clearface Gothic, Benton also designed classics like Franklin Gothic, Century Expanded, and many other types. Clearface Gothic is a sans serif face with light forms displaying the Zeitgeist of the turn of the 20th century. Distinguishing characteristics are the open forms of the "a" and "c," the arched "k," and the upward-tilting horizontal stroke of the "e." The relatively narrow typeface, with its open inner white spaces, is extremely legible even in small point sizes. There is no accompanying italic.This digital version of Clearface Gothic was made in 1984 by the Linotype Design Studio.
