Copperplate Gothic Font

Copperplate Gothic is a typeface created by Frederic W. Goudy and released by American Type Founders (ATF) in 1901. Despite being called a "Gothic", this font features subtle serifs that highlight the sharp ends of its vertical and horizontal strokes.

The typeface suggests an uncommon combination of effects; the glyphs are reminiscent of stone carving or lettering on copperplate engravings. The wide horizontal axis is traditional of Victorian display sorts.
