Beaufort specimen from ParaType

A three-width display serif from Shinntype, built around asymptotically configured vectors that produce serifs of near-infinite sharpness regardless of output size.

About

Spanning Condensed, Regular and Extended widths across five weights with matching italics, Beaufort totals 30 styles designed for use at scale. Nick Shinn's approach to vector construction allows serifs to remain crisp at any resolution, making the family particularly suited to large-format and poster work. The design sits within a classic, high-contrast tradition while prioritising technical precision in outline construction.

Classification

A display serif with extremely sharp, high-contrast serifs configured using asymptotic vectors for near-infinite sharpness at any scale. The three-width family – Condensed, Regular and Extended – along with a heavy weight range positions it firmly as a poster and display typeface.
