Twentieth Century is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Sol Hess for Lanston Monotype in 1937, in the hot metal type period. It was created as a competitor to the successful Futura typeface, but with a larger x-height (taller lower-case letters) and more even stroke width. Like Futura it has a single-story 'a' (as in handwriting) and a straight 'j' with no bend. A very large font family, Twentieth Century is particularly known for a limited range of styles being bundled with many Microsoft products such as Office.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.officeformachelp.com/office/install/installed-files-list-for-office-2011/ )〕 Numerous other variants exist, including versions for very small text and an Art Deco-influenced titling capitals design, Twentieth Century Poster, with rounded capitals. In addition, Twentieth Century served as an inspiration for ''Century Gothic'', designed by Monotype in 1991. ==Casting History== The various weights and widths were cut over a period of ten years: * ''Twentieth Century'' (1937) * ''Twentieth Century Bold Italic'' (1937) * ''Twentieth Century Extrabold Italic'' (1937) * ''Twentieth Century Extrabold Condensed Italic'' (1938) * ''Twentieth Century Ultrabold'' (1941) * ''Twentieth Century Ultrabold Condensed'' (1944) * ''Twentieth Century Medium Condensed Italic'' (1947) * ''Twentieth Century Ultrabold Italic'' (1947) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Twentieth Century (typeface)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
