Bell Centennial is a sans-serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter in the period 1975–78. The typeface was commissioned by AT&T as a proprietary type to replace their then current directory typeface Bell Gothic on the occasion of AT&T’s one hundredth anniversary. Carter was working for the Mergenthaler Linotype Company which now licenses the face for general public use.

“Its quick silver bell beating, beating
And down the dark one ruby flare
Pulsing out red light like an artery,”
