Benton Sans Std Font Family was designed by David Berlow, Tobias Frere-Jones, Cyrus Highsmith, Morris Fuller Benton and published by Font Bureau. Benton Sans Std contains 80 styles and family package options. In 1903, faced with the welter of sanserif typefaces offered by ATF, Morris Fuller Benton designed News Gothic, which became a 20th-century standard. In 1995 Tobias Frere-Jones studied drawings in the Smithsonian and started a redesign. Cyrus Highsmith reviewed News Gothic, and with the Font Bureau studio expanded it into Benton Sans, a far-reaching new series, with matched weights and widths, offering performance well beyond the limits of the original; FB 1995-2012
