CENTURY TYPEFACE

All the Details

With the merging of twenty-three foundries into American Type Founders in 1892, Linn Boyd Benton's son, Morris Fuller Benton, was given the task of consolidating and purging the faces of these manufacturers into a coherent selection. Following this, he was given the task of adapting Century No. 2 to meet the Typographical Union standards of the time.

Combining to the background history of this typeface, I chose pink and black as the colors of the poster to make it a more modern style.
