Barry Gothic specimen from ParaType

An all-caps glyphic serif in two weights, designed for TypeMarket in 1996 and based on Carol Twombly's Adobe Charlemagne.

About

Barry Gothic derives from Adobe Charlemagne (1989), inheriting its wedge serifs, high stroke contrast and incised lapidary character. It is offered in Regular and Bold, covering display and poster applications where an all-caps setting is appropriate. The design is caps-only, making it unsuitable for general text use but well suited to titling and decorative work.

Classification

The specimen shows all-caps letterforms with pronounced wedge serifs, high contrast strokes and an incised, lapidary quality derived from Adobe Charlemagne – placing this firmly in the glyphic or incise serif tradition rather than conventional text serif styles.
