Bentham draws inspiration from the lettering found on nineteenth-century maps, gravestones, and cast-iron machinery plates. It features expressive, flowing curves and characteristic bobbles on its terminals, embodying a mannered awkwardness. The design reflects a halfway point between historical typefaces and cartographic or engraved letterforms, offering a unique interpretation of the modern face genre.
