#Roman #Reigns

Copperplate Gothic occupies a unique position in typography because it is technically classified as a glyphic serif font, despite having “Gothic” (a historical term for sans-serif) in its name. Designed by Frederic W. Goudy in 1901, its defining feature is the presence of microscopic, razor-sharp serifs at the ends of its strokes.

What You Can Type With Copperplate

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Copperplate is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. Thanks to its accented letters, it also works for Spanish and Italian, not just English.

Where Copperplate Works Best

Think of Copperplate for book covers, magazine headlines and classic branding. Its lowercase letters are tall compared to the capitals, which keeps it readable at smaller sizes. Serif fonts shine in headlines and printed text. For long paragraphs on phones, check that it still reads well at small sizes.
