Century Schoolbook is a classic serif typeface designed in 1919 by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders (ATF). Belonging to the Serif category, its sub-category is Transitional Serif, known for its wide letterforms, generous x-height, and balanced proportions that enhance legibility, especially for educational materials. Originally created for use in school textbooks, Century Schoolbook has become a standard for children’s reading books, academic publishing, and legal documents due to its clarity and readability. The font family includes Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic styles, making it versatile for both body text and headings. Century Schoolbook is a proprietary typeface available through Monotype and other foundries, requiring a commercial license for professional use.
