Ploquine specimen from TypeTogether

A structured slab serif with unusual horizontal terminals and extra-large capitals, rooted in historical wood type and shaped by the Gerard Unger Scholarship.

About

Ploquine draws on wood type traditions to produce a slab with structured delicacy — the distinctive horizontal endings on 'a' and 't', oversized capitals and serifs treated as expressive elements rather than mechanical fixtures. Fourteen styles span Thin to Extrabold with italics, plus two variable fonts. Suited to editorial, museum catalogues and poster work.
