Benguiat’s Caslon

‘Benguiat has frequently said he chose the number 224 because it was the address of the building where he did most of his work.’

Ed Benguiat couldn’t leave well enough alone. And in 1982, created one of the funkiest versions of Caslon ever – for ITC.

I love the swoops and the ear on top of the lowercase g.
