Font recognition - Beautiful chiselled uppercase Letterforms

Featured Replies

Hi all. I’m after a don’t like the image attached - something that has beautiful chiselled letterforms (see the capital Q). Going to be using in uppercase so something like this that ideally has a cap W where the centrally ascenders overlap to make a V type shape. Any examples of suitable faces would be fantastic. Thanks!

The double vé style of W is most often seen in serif typefaces, not sans serif. It may have to be something you construct yourself from two capital Vs.

Equally difficult is finding a sans serif with that degree of calligraphic flare in the terminals.

Typefaces similar to your sample (Burneside Grotesk by Atelier Dyakova, custom to its identity for Paper Foundation):

Neue Freigeist
Agrandir
Caslon Doric
Classic Grotesque
