About Bentham
Bentham by Ben Weiner is a classical, single-weight serif modeled on the transitional typeface tradition — bridging humanist warmth with the increasing rationalism of the 18th century. Its measured stroke contrast and modest bracketed serifs give it a bookish, dependable quality suitable for academic editorial design, legal documents, and formal print contexts. The name pays homage to the philosopher Jeremy Bentham, and the font carries that same sense of principled, functional restraint.
