Copperplate Gothic Regular

Copperplate Gothic Regular was originally designed by the renowned American type designer Frederic W. Goudy in 1901 for the American Type Founders (ATF). Despite its name, the font is characterized as a glyphic typeface because it features very small, sharp, wedge-shaped serifs rather than being a true sans-serif Gothic. It is famously a 'small caps' typeface, meaning the lowercase positions are filled with smaller versions of the uppercase letters, creating a uniform and authoritative appearance.

Historically, this typeface became the industry standard for professional stationery, business cards, and legal documents throughout the 20th century. Its design evokes a sense of stability, tradition, and understated elegance, mimicking the look of engraved copperplate printing. Even today, it remains a staple for luxury branding and corporate identities that aim to project a long-standing heritage and prestige.
