Franklin Gothic is one of the most enduring and influential typefaces in American typographic history.

Designed by Morris Fuller Benton and released in 1905 by American Type Founders, Franklin Gothic quickly stood out in the crowded field of sans-serif types, gaining an enduring popularity that has lasted more than a century. Benton's original design was a display face in a single weight, bold, direct, and solid, yet conveying plenty of character. A modern typeface in the tradition of 19th-century grotesques, Franklin Gothic was drawn with a distinctive contrast in stroke weight, giving it a unique personality among the more monolinear appearance of later geometric and neo-grotesque sans-serif types.
