  • „Bitstream“ Fonts
    Key to the „Bitstream“ Fonts The history of typefaces is the history of forgeries. One of the greatest forgers of the 20th century was Matthew Carter. The Bitstream website (http://www.myfonts.com) describes him as follows: Matthew Carter of United Kingdom. Born: 1937 Son of Harry Carter, Royal Designer for Industry, contemporary British type designer and ultimate craftsman, trained as a punchcutter at Enschedé by Paul Rädisch, responsible for Crosfield's typographic program in the early 1960s, Mergenthaler Linotype's house designer 1965-1981. Carter co-founded Bitstream with Mike Parker in 1981. In 1991 he left Bitstream to form Carter & Cone with Cherie Cone. In 1997 he was awarded the TDC Medal, the award from the Type Directors Club presented to those „who have made significant contributions to the life, art, and craft of typography“. Carter’s „significant contribution to the life, art, and craft of typography“ consisted of forging the Linotype typeface collection. Carter can be characterized as a split personality. On the one hand, he has designed several original typefaces. On the other hand, he has forged hundreds of fonts. The following lists reveal that ca. 90% of the „Bitstream“ fonts are forgeries of the fonts contained in the catalog „LinoTypeCollection 1987“ („Mergenthaler Type Library“), i.e. the „Bitstream“ fonts are „nefarious evil knock-off clones“ (Bruno Steinert) of fonts sold by Linotype in the mid-1980s.1 „L“ in the following lists denotes that the font is contained in the „LinoTypeCollection 1987“. In the mid-1980s, the Linotype library comprised hundreds of typefaces with a total of 1700 fonts.

  • Franklin Gothic: from Benton to Berlow
    NUMBER TWO Franklin Gothic: from Benton to Berlow Sans serif, or gothic, typefaces became popular for advertising and promotional work in 19th century America. Their bold letterforms, brassy characteristics and efficient use of space were sought after then, just as they are now. By the time American Type Founders (ATF) was formed in 1892, more than 50 different sans serif faces were offered by the major American type suppliers. First Franklin Designs The Franklin Gothic™ typeface was the third in a series of sans serif faces designed after ATF was founded. In the early 1900s, Morris Fuller Benton, who was in charge of typeface development for ATF at the time, began to create the type designs that would influence American type design for more than 40 years. Globe Gothic was his first sans serif design, which was followed shortly thereafter by Alternate Gothic. Around 1902, Franklin Gothic was cut, although it was not released as a font of metal type until 1905. As he designed Franklin Gothic, Benton was likely influenced by the earlier sans serif designs released in Germany. Berthold had issued the Akzidenz Grotesk® series of typefaces (later known to American printers as “Standard”) in 1898. Akzidenz Grotesk inspired the cutting of Reform Grotesk by the Stempel foundry of Frankfurt in 1903, and the Venus™ series of typefaces by the Bauer foundry, also of Frankfurt, in 1907. A Small Family At first, Benton drew only a single roman design for Franklin Gothic. However, this typeface caught the imagination of printers of the time, and ATF was compelled to add more variants to make a small type family.

  • Opinionated Font Facts
    OPINIONATED FONT FACTS Research and writing: Alissa Faden with Ellen Lupton Baskerville is a transitional serif typeface designed by the English gentleman printer John Baskerville in 1757. Basker- ville had also mastered the craft of engraving headstones, a knowledge that influenced his design process. His letters are sharply detailed with a vivid contrast between thick and thin elements. During his lifetime, Baskerville’s letters were denounced as extremist, but today we think of Baskerville as a classic, elegant, and easy to read font. Baskerville’s life- style was also regarded with suspicion: he was a professed agnostic living out of wedlock (see Mrs Eaves). Bodoni, created by Giambattista Bodoni in the 1790s, is known as a modern typeface. It has nearly flat, unbracketed serifs, an extreme contrast between thick and thin strokes, and an overall vertical stress. Compared to Garamond, which is based on handwriting, Bodoni is severe, glamorous, and dehumanized. Similar typefaces were also designed in the late eighteenth century by François Ambroise Didot and Justus Erich Walbaum. Caslon is named for the British typographer William Caslon, whose typefaces were an eighteenth-century staple and a personal favorite of Benjamin Franklin (who also enjoyed the racier innovations of John Baskerville). The U.S. Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were first printed in Caslon’s types. Classified as transitional, Caslon has strong vertical elements and crisp serifs. Adobe Caslon, designed by Carol Twombly in 1990, transports Caslon’s solid Anglo pedigree into the digital age. Centaur was designed by Bruce Rogers between 1912 and 1914, inspired by the work of the fifteenth-century Venetian printer Nicolas Jenson.

  • Searching for Morris Fuller Benton
    Searching for Morris Fuller Benton Discovering the designer through his typefaces Juliet Shen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Typeface Design Department of Typography and Graphic Communication University of Reading September, 2006 © 2006 Juliet Shen. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, or mechanical without written permission from the author. ABSTRACT Searching for Morris Fuller Benton Discovering the designer through his typefaces Juliet Shen Morris Fuller Benton (1872–1948) was the chief type designer for the American Type Foundry Company, where he worked from 1896–1937. He designed more typefaces than any other American type designer: well over 200. Yet historians have largely overlooked him in their publications and he did not write about himself. This dissertation seeks to discover how Benton thought as a designer by studying his typefaces. The economic trends that influenced his career are summarized, and his typefaces are re- catalogued thematically. Detailed case studies are made of Franklin Gothic, Clearface and Clearface Gothic, Cloister Oldstyle, Century School- book, and two novelty typefaces, Adscript and Thermo Series. The com- mon assumption that Franklin Gothic was based on Akzidenz Grotesk is refuted. His approach in reviving Nicolas Jenson’s fifteenth century roman is contrasted with that of Bruce Rogers, and the resulting typefaces compared. It is shown that Benton was greatly concerned with furthering legibility in typefaces; that he designed the first serial (serif and sans serif) type family; and that he made some typographic design innovations that went largely unnoticed.

    1 1 TEX FONT SAMPLER 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 Introduction Thanks to the work of different groups within the TEX world we may occasionally welcome new fonts. In the year of TEX’s 25th anniversary we introduce the Latin Modern typefaces as a successor to the familiar Computer Modern typefaces. The development of the Latin Modern was funded by DANTE, GUTENBERG and the NTG. This booklet ships with the new TEX Collection 2003: TEX Live 9/2003 and CTAN. It gives an overview of the free out- line fonts available in this collection and provides some back- ground information concerning those fonts, their designers and the foundries involved. We dedicate this booklet to Sebas- tian Rahtz. Without him and his team, most TEX documents would still look like they did 25 years ago. We also use this opportunity to present the new Fourier math font by Michel Bovani. This font is based upon Utopia and can be found in the TEX collection.

  • 1 CHAPTER 25 TYPOGRAPHY and the PRINTED ENGLISH TEXT Will
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Anglia Ruskin Research Online 1 CHAPTER 25 TYPOGRAPHY AND THE PRINTED ENGLISH TEXT Will Hill From the inception of the printed word, typography has both driven and reflected the development and formal conventions of language use. Writing systems have informed the development of type, and patterns of typographic usage have in turn influenced the practice of writing. EARLY PRINTING Gutenberg’s first printed books from 1455 onward, represent the most significant development in the history of the written word, a transition from forms created in the act of writing, to the assembly of standardized letters for print. Though he is popularly described as the inventor of printing, the press itself was the less innovative of Gutenberg’s achievements. Presses had been widely used for the stamping of metals, and for the printing of engravings and rudimentary ‘block books’ in which a page of text was engraved into a single block. The most significant innovation of the early printers, whether attributable to Gutenberg or his immediate successors, was the concept of a mould from which multiple copies of each letter could be identically cast for subsequent assembly into text. The details of Gutenberg’s working methods are unknown and widely contested, but studies of the printed outcomes indicate that he made a far greater number of variant letter shapes than were to occur in later phases of printing. His character-set incorporated differing forms of certain letters and many special letter pairings (ligatures) necessitated by the characteristics of two adjacent letters.
