Webtype (2015–2016)[1] Benton Sans is a digital typeface family begun by Tobias Frere-Jones in 1995, and expanded by Cyrus Highsmith of Font Bureau.

It is based on the sans-serif typefaces designed for American Type Founders by Morris Fuller Benton around the beginning of the twentieth century in the industrial or grotesque style.

In 2002-2003, Cyrus Highsmith added additional widths, weights, and italics to the typeface family, and the face was released for public use under the name Benton Sans.

The typeface differs from other grotesque sans-serifs in its organic shapes and subtle transitions of stroke width, all contributing to a less severe, humanist tone of voice.

In addition, small caps and figure styles, extended Latin character set, language support are included in all Benton Sans fonts.
