    Bennington "font" specific registration numbers/letters

    Looks like you can buy the font package here: https://typekit.com/fonts/aviano-serif/availability ...or maybe download it free here: http://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Aviano-Serif-Black Your mileage may vary, I didn't try either routes, just looked at them.
