Its tall x-height and strong contrast lend it a bold yet elegant appearance. The font's design is characterized by its narrow letterforms, generous open counterspaces, and subtle calligraphic flourishes on certain characters, creating an old-style serif feel that harks back to the era of enlightenment thinkers like Jeremy Bentham. This versatile typeface can be used in a wide range of applications, from corporate branding and editorial design to web and app interfaces.

Usage Instructions
To use Bentham in your designs, consider its narrow letterforms and tall x-height when setting text for readability. Pair it with a complementary sans-serif font to create a dynamic visual hierarchy and ensure legibility. Experiment with varying line heights and letter spacing to balance the dense feel of the typeface.
