- Century is a family of serif type faces particularly intended for body text. The family originates from a first design, Century Roman, cut by American Type Founders designer Linn Boyd Benton in 1894 for master printer Theodore Low De Vinne, for use in The Century Magazine. ATF rapidly expanded it into a very large family, first by Linn Boyd, and later by his son Morris. Century is based on the "Scotch" genre, a style of type of British origin which had been popular in the United States from the early nineteenth century and is part of the "Didone" genre of type popular through the entire nineteenth century. Its design emphasizes crispness and elegance, with strokes ending in fine tapers, ball terminals, and crisp, finely pointed serifs. However, compared to many earlier typefaces in the genre, stroke contrast is quite low, creating a less sharp and highly readable structure. With ATF no longer operating, a wide variety of variants and revivals with varying features and quality are available. Despite originating in the nineteenth century, use of the typeface remains strong for periodicals, textbooks, and literature. The Supreme Court of the United States requires that briefs be typeset in Century family type. According to Charles Shaw, "The rugged simplicity of the Century family of types has made it an enduring favorite of American typographers for almost one hundred years. Beginning as foundry type, Century has withstood a series of technical transformations into Linotype, Monotype, Ludlow, phototype, transfer type, digital type, and Xerox-like 'toner type'." (en)
- Century（センチュリー）は、特に本文で使うことを目的としたセリフ体の欧文書体ファミリーである。 この書体ファミリーの起源となる最初のデザイン「Century Roman」は（ATF）社のデザイナーである（L・B・ベントン）が1894年に制作したもので、印刷監督が雑誌『』で使用するためのものだった。最初のリン・ボイドと後を継いだ息子（M・F・ベントン）の尽力により、ATFがCentury書体を非常に大規模なファミリーに急拡張していった。 (ja)
- Century Schoolbook is een schreeflettertype ontworpen in 1919 door Morris Fuller Benton voor American Type Founders (ATF). Het ontwerp is gebaseerd op de vroegere Century Expanded lettertypen waar zijn vader Linn Boyd Benton aan begonnen was, voor een opdracht om een tekst- en kopletter te ontwerpen voor The Century Magazine uit 1890. De naam van het lettertype stamt hier nog van af. (nl)
