Stymie FONT Download
Designer: Morris Fuller Benton
Publisher: Linotype
In 1931, Morris Fuller Benton created the
Stymie typeface for the American Type Founders (ATF).
Stymie is a reworking of a slab serif type that was popular in Europe at that time, Memphis. For the past one hundred fifty years, slab serif types (sometimes called Egyptian or Egyptienne-style faces) have been a popular choice for headline text in newspapers, magazines, and advertising.
