Bureau Roman

3 Styles

First commissioned by The Washington Post, Bureau Roman revisits Morris Fuller Benton’s 1909 Century Oldstyle, a popular descendant of the oldstyle cut by Alexander Phemister for Miller & Richard in 1860. Working to preserve copyfit on ever-shrinking newspaper pages, David Berlow, assisted by Cyrus Highsmith, expanded this family into the second text face in Font Bureau’s Readability Series; FB 1997–2000

Bureau Roman was part of our Readability Series which offered text grades. If you require a specific grade or all grades, they are available for license at retail pricing. Please call 617-423-8770 or email us with your inquiry.
