Memphis
  Since this is 'Font Flames', I'll take this opportunity to buck the
trends and criticise those horrible ITC renditions of legitimate
classic faces, like Caslon, Garamond, Baskerville, etc.
  These great faces have had their descenders cut off and their x heights
bloated to reflect modern (1970's) tastes. Too bad that you cannot
yet buy the original renditions from Adobe.
