Cameo
Letterhead Fonts · Tom Kennedy
A four-font copperplate-style family designed as an alternative to the ubiquitous Copperplate typeface, with Regular and Bold weights each offered in standard and spurred variants.
About
Built in the engraved lettering tradition, Cameo offers a more characterful option than the widely used Copperplate, with each of its four fonts including several alternate glyphs. The Spurs variants introduce pronounced spur details that add texture suited to period-style design work. The family pairs naturally with ornamental and engraver's border elements, as demonstrated in the foundry's own specimen pairings.
Classification
A display face in the copperplate engraving tradition, featuring small caps construction and fine spur serifs on a high-contrast letterform. The Spurs variants add pronounced spurred details characteristic of the engraved lettering genre.
