Century type family
Typeface
Not to be confused with Century Gothic.
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.[1] ATF rapidly expanded it into a very large family, first by Linn Boyd, and later by his son Morris. With ATF no longer operating, a wide variety of variants and revivals with varying features and quality are available.
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.[2][3] Its design emphasizes crispness and elegance, with ball terminals, minimalist brackets, prominent slab serifs, and high contrast between thick and thin strokes.

Malcolm Forster
University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
Spring Term 2006

After leaving New Zealand in 1978, he lived in Poland, Canada, and Australia, before coming to the United States in 1987. He has been in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since that time. As a student of mathematics in the seventies, he underwent a conversion to philosophy thanks to the positive influence of Alan Musgrave and Pavel Tichý at the University of Otago, coupled with a curiosity about intellectual problems that are not well posed. Interested mainly in philosophy of physics at the time, he completed a Ph.D. dissertation on probabilistic causality and quantum mechanics at the University of Western Ontario in 1984. Since then, he has traveled almost everywhere in philosophy of science, enjoying forays in phylogenetic inference, the philosophy of statistics, connectionist networks, simplicity and unification in the methodology of science, William Whewell’s philosophy of science, and cognitive science. And he is even th
