  • Ed Benguiat Obituary
    Ephram Edward Benguiat 1927-2020 This week we learned of the passing of the most prolific American type designer of the second half of the twentieth century. Ed Benguiat was also a pilot, a philosopher, a skilled raconteur, an engaging personality, and a world-class jazz percussionist. But his legacy will be not merely his great talent but his great adaptability to client needs. In the 1960s, with huge type libraries rare, New York City art directors would pay hundreds of dollars for a couple of words set in a specialized head- line font. If planning a long campaign, that would easily justify designing a typeface, considering also the possibility that somebody else might want to use the same face later. Most of these were not intended for a typeset- ting computer, but rather a filmstrip-driven machine, where each letter was hand-positioned by the operator for optimal fit, usually specified by the client as TNT (Tight, Not Touching). Ed designed hundreds of such faces for his employer, Photo-Lettering Inc., often without being credited for them, although if you see a face with Hand- tooled in its name it’s probably one of his. Because he was designing for art directors with many different opinions, he learned to adapt his design skills to match almost any style. This skill was highlighted shortly after it became possible to buy typesetting machines inexpensively, especially those of Compugraphic Corp. Under- standing that an opportunity existed to market typefaces to owners of these machines, Photo-Lettering created the International Typeface Corporation, ITC, to produce them.

  • Point Size Is Different from X-Height
    x-Height By Allan Haley THE TERM X-HEIGHT REFERS TO THE HEIGHT OF THE LOWERCASE X in a given typeface at any given size. It provides a way of describing the general proportions of any typeface. Conversely, display typefaces are used to entice a reader into text copy, to create a mood or feeling, or to announce important information. Point Size Is Different Than x-Height The point size of a typeface is basically a measure of its overall height, from the top of the tallest character above the baseline to the longest descender beneath the baseline. However, since, over 95 percent of all Latin letters read are lowercase, with proportions that vary from typeface to typeface, their x-height is an important factor in both legibility and readability. It offers a x-heights can vary dramatically from typeface to typeface. highly practical way to classify the size of the vast majority of the characters read. a relatively generous x-height, while Small x-Heights Seemingly similar typefaces may in fact those in the Bernhard Modern family are Although a large letter size may be have very different x-height proportions. usually considered small. preferable in some scenarios, bigger is For example, the lowercase characters in not always better.
