Coinage Caps
K-Type · Keith Bates
A trilogy of small caps fonts drawn from the engraved and incised Roman lettering of British coinage, referencing the work of Eric Gill, Humphrey Paget and George Kruger Gray from the 1920s and 30s.
About
Each of the three fonts in the package captures a distinct historical voice: Gill's rejected silver coin designs, Paget's softly rounded letterforms from the 1937 Golden Hind Halfpenny, and Kruger Gray's bold glyphic style engraved across numerous British and Commonwealth coins. The minted quality of the letterforms is simulated through slightly rounded corners on two of the three cuts. All three fonts are included in the commercial licence, with Coinage Caps Kruger Gray available free for personal use.
Classification
A trilogy of all-caps display fonts rooted in inscriptional and engraved Roman lettering from British coinage, spanning spur serif, transitional serif and glyphic styles. The all-caps small caps construction and historical coin origins place it firmly in the display category.
