ABOUT

American Text

A textura typeface. Mac McGrew: American Text was designed by Morris F. Benton for ATF in 1932, as a modernized adaptation of the sort of typeface commonly called Old English. It seems to be constructed entirely of straight lines, with a very angular appearance. It has had some popularity in advertising, as well as for stationery.

Digital versions include American Text by Bitstream, OPTI American Text by Castcraft, Blackletter 851 by Bitstream, National Text by Bitstream, American Text (2019) by SoftMaker, and the free typeface American Text (2000) by Dieter Steffmann.
