Polyphonic specimen from Paulo Goode

A 60-style bracketed slab serif spanning five widths and six weights with matching italics, designed for understated clarity rather than typographic showmanship.

About

Released in October 2018, Polyphonic covers five widths – Condensed, Narrow, Regular, Wide and Extended – each available in six weights from Light to Black, with roman and italic cuts throughout. The design prioritises balance and legibility over decorative character, making it suitable for both text and display settings. Small caps and European Latin language support are included, with over 600 glyphs per font.

Classification

Explicitly classified by the foundry as a bracketed slab serif. The bracketed serifs and formal, understated character place it within the tradition of workhorse slab serifs rather than geometric or Egyptian variants.
