Benguiat Gothic is a decorative sans-serif typeface designed by Ed Benguiat and released by the International Typeface Corporation (ITC) in 1979. It is a sans-serif variant of Benguiat's 1978 typeface Benguiat. Both faces are loosely based upon typefaces of the Art Nouveau period but are not considered academic revivals. The face follows ITC's design formulary of an extremely high x-height, combined with multiple widths and weights.
