Morris Fuller Benton's Venetian Venetian and Venetian Italic are typefaces that were designed by Morris Fuller Benton about 1911. Venetian Bold followed circa 1913. McMcGrew writes: They are rather reserved transitional typefaces, almost modern, instead of classic designs of Venetian origin as the name implies. The result is closer to Bodoni than to Cloister. The working title was Cheltenham No.2, but the relationship to that family is not apparent. It is carefully and neatly done, but never achieved widespread use. Compare Benton, a later typeface by the same designer, which has similar characteristics but more grace and charm. Digital revivals include the free typeface family HK Venetian (2016, Alfredo Marco Pradil).
