Morris Fuller Benton’s interpretation of the types of Jean Jannon. First issued in 1919 with several styles following later. Revived and expanded for digital format in 2015 by ATF Collection who offer the following details:
Based on Jannon’s types, preserved in the French Imprimerie Nationale as the “caractères de l’Université,” [it] served as both inspiration and model for many of the later “Garamond” revivals, notably Linotype’s popular Garamond No. 3. […] In 1922, Thomas M. Cleland designed a set of companion swash italics and ornaments. Bold and bold italic variants were released in 1920 and 1923, respectively.
