About LTC Twentieth Century Font Family


Twentieth Century was Lanston Monotypes answer to Futura. In fact Saul Hess's redrawing of Futura is so close that this new digital revival includes alternates of the long lost original letterforms originally designed by Paul Renner for Futura, but were left out of the released version that has become so popular. 20th Century is a modern sans serif with apparent geometry yet still a certain warmth in its design. The OpenType version of LTC Twentieth Century incorporates the alternate Renner glyphs with two sets of alternate lowercase characters. The font also includes oldstyle numerals and a full Western and Central European character set.

About Lanston Type Company

Lanston Type Co. has roots back to the original Lanston Monotype Company of 1887, founded by Tolbert Lanston when he invented the Monotype casting machine. LTC went through mixed fortunes and was sold several times before Gerald Giampa eventually purchased it. In 2004, P22 Type Foundry acquired LTC. The historically important collection includes the classic designs of Frederic W. Goudy and Sol Hess, along with newer types by such contemporary masters as Jim Rimmer, Dave Farey, and Gerald Giampa.
