- Description
- Libre Franklin is a timeless sans-serif font designed by Morris Fuller Benton as part of the Franklin Gothic family in 1902. This typeface has been extensively used in advertising, newspapers, books, billboards, and other media since its inception. Although it experienced a decline in popularity during the 1930s, it was rediscovered by American designers in the 1940s and has remained popular ever since. The Libre Franklin variant features a solid design suitable for display and trade uses such as headlines rather than extended text. Notable extensions include Victor Caruso's ITC Franklin Gothic and League Gothic, which is based on Alternate Gothic.
