Clearface is a serif typeface designed by Morris Fuller Benton with the collaboration of his father Linn Boyd Benton, produced at American Type Founders in 1907, immediately following his preparation of Century Old Style. The bold was drawn first, in 1905, but the regular weight was the first to be released. Six variants were released between 1907 and 1911, and the design has frequently been rereleased and revived since.〔McGrew, Mac, "American Metal Typefaces of the Twentieth Century," Oak Knoll Books, New Castle Delaware, 1993, ISBN 0-938768-34-4, pp. 92 - 93.〕 Like many of his serif designs, Clearface is a warm, curving design showing the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement but not particularly based on any past period of type design. * ''Clearface'' (1907) * ''Clearface Bold + Italic'' * ''Clearface Heavy + Italic'' * ''Clearface Italic'' ==Hot Metal Copies== ''Clearface'' had considerable popularity and was either licensed or copied by all the makers of mechanical composition machines, including Linotype, Intertype, Monotype, British Monotype, and Ludlow. Stephenson Blake not only cast it as foundry type, but also made an open face version in 1925 that was sold under the names ''Clearface Open,'' ''Clearface Handtooled,'' and ''Dominus''.〔Jaspert, W.
