“In 1903 faced with the welter of sans offered by ATF, Morris Fuller Benton designed News Gothic, a 20th century standard. In 1995 Tobias Frere-Jones studied drawings in the Smithsonian and started a redesign. Cyrus Highsmith reviewed News Gothic, and expansion to Benton Sans. David Berlow distilled the design to four styles of even sturdier design for screen use at small sizes.” — Font Bureau, 1995–2010
