ATF Agency Gothic was designed by Morris Fuller Benton in 1932 as a lone titling. In 1990, David Berlow saw potential in the squared forms of the narrow, monotone capitals. He designed a lowercase and added a bold to produce Font Bureau Agency, an immediately popular hit. Sensing strengths that surpassed those of a useful condensed, Font Bureau developed Agency into a major series o≠ering five weights in five widths; fb 1990–95 25 STYLES: THIN, LIGHT, REGULAR, BOLD, AND BLACK WEIGHTS IN EXTENDED, WIDE, NORMAL, CONDENSED, AND COMPRESSED WIDTHS
