Copperplate Gothic Bold Normal

Copperplate Gothic Bold was designed by the prolific American type designer Frederic W. Goudy and released by the American Type Founders (ATF) in 1901. Although it contains the word "Gothic," which usually refers to sans-serif faces, Copperplate features very small, sharp wedge serifs that give it a distinct, monumental appearance. It was originally designed solely for use in capitals and small capitals, making it a classic choice for formal and business-oriented printing.

Throughout the 20th century, Copperplate Gothic became a standard for business stationery, banking forms, and professional plaques. Its wide stance and sturdy construction convey a sense of reliability and tradition. Even in the digital age, this typeface continues to be a favorite for luxury branding, legal documentation, and elegant restaurant menus due to its timeless and authoritative aesthetic.
