Uppercase
In addition to their generally wide proportions, Benton Sans’ capital letters use a variety of means to achieve maximum openness, including the tendency in the rounded forms to squareness, the extension of the stroke ends (C, G, J and S) and the enlargement of parts of several letters (P and R).

Lowercase
In addition to the means employed in the capitals, the lowercase letters bring air to the lines air by simplifying (the single-story -g-), by the slight thinning where curved strokes join stem (-b-, -d-, -g-, -h-, -m-, -n-, -p-, -q-, -u-) and by giving something of a bounce to the bowls and arcs(-a-, -b-, -c-, -d-, -e-, -g-, -h-, -m-, -n-, -s-).
