Alternate Gothic was developed in 1903 by Morris Fuller Benton for American Type Founders (ATF). The idea was to supply a number of alternate widths of one style, particularly Alternate Gothic No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, to be more versatile with regard to various typographic jobs. All 3 styles are black and condensed, and therefore work best for posters, headlines and advertisements.
