Seriff specimen from ParaType

A single-weight, caps-only display serif by Grigoriy Martynenko, drawing on American wood type with extreme thin serifs, low mid-lines and unconventional serif placement.

About

Seriff takes its cues from nineteenth-century American wooden letters, combining high contrast strokes with unusually long, thin serifs that sometimes appear in unexpected positions. The face covers uppercase Latin and Cyrillic only, alongside numerals and punctuation, making it a specialist tool for poster work and editorial display. Its character suits Wild West and Victorian references as readily as stark contemporary layouts.

Classification

A high-contrast serif with extreme thin serifs and low mid-lines, inspired by American wood type. Its decorative, experimental character and caps-only design place it firmly in the display category.
