Trusty Serif Wide
JP Flexner · JP Flexner
A wide, bracketed-serif face designed for legibility at distance and small sizes, pitched as a more readable alternative to Copperplate Gothic.
About
Part of a trio of Trusty Serif fonts built as utilitarian workhorses, the Wide cut prioritises legibility across curved paths, tight spaces and small sizes. Subtle bracketed serifs give it authority without sacrificing scanning ease, and its wide proportions are calibrated to hold up under awkward typesetting conditions. The family is positioned for signage, branding and any context where tone and readability need to coexist.
Classification
The typeface draws explicit comparison to Copperplate Gothic with its wide proportions and subtle bracketed serifs, placing it in the glyphic or inscribed serif tradition designed for legibility at distance and small sizes.
