ParaType's digitisation of Benton's News Gothic, offered in four weights with matching italics across a 14-style family.
About
Rooted in Morris Fuller Benton's 1908 original, this version presents four weights from Light to Bold, each accompanied by an italic. The family totals 14 styles and follows the narrow, low-contrast proportions characteristic of the American grotesque tradition. It suits editorial and display use where a dependable, workaday sans is required.
Classification
A grotesque sans-serif in the American tradition, tracing its lineage to Morris Fuller Benton's News Gothic (1908). The family follows the characteristic low stroke contrast and narrow proportions typical of the American grotesque genre.
