Benzion specimen from ParaType

A Hebrew display typeface drawn at ParaType in 1991, adapting Edward Benguiat's rounded ITC Benguiat Gothic into four styles covering Book and Bold with obliques.

About

Developed by Alexander Tarbeev at ParaGraph in 1991, Benzion adapts ITC Benguiat Gothic (1979) for Hebrew script, bringing its rounded, informal character to a Semitic context. The family comprises Book and Bold weights, with oblique variants added in 1995. Its decorative quality makes it suited to poster, magazine and display applications rather than body text.

Classification
