Perfectype is a serif house first. Elegant sets the tone with high-contrast display strokes, Chiko pushes towards a more contemporary cut, and the 28 releases keep returning to the same idea: a roman with enough personality to carry a headline alone.
Before you buy from this studio
High-contrast serifs are print faces. Their hairlines break on vinyl below roughly two inches of cap height, so plan sublimation or laser engraving instead of a blade.
Broad contrasting mixed case with a deep rounded g
Elegant shows large white serif letters with heavy verticals and very fine connecting strokes over a fashion photograph, where the rounded lower bowl of the g drops beneath a broad open e and a narrow upright l, and the word spans the full width of the frame.
Ideas for this font
Broad capitals with sturdy stems and a long curved K leg
Chiko is a broad capital serif in which the stems stay substantial, the transitions curve smoothly and the K leg sweeps far beneath the neighbouring O to finish in a thick rounded terminal, so a single word reads as an extended editorial mark.

Light serif with ball-ended hooks and a low outward curl on the a
Gofia is a light modern serif in which the hairline joins stay delicate, the bowls run broad and round, the G and f finish in ball-ended hooks and the final a throws a low curl outward, so a short name reads as warm editorial lettering.

Contrasting serif with interlaced loops
Thayang is a contrasting serif in cream over a dark portrait: narrow stems with sharp serifs and oversized loops that leave the first letter and the last and interlace across both words, with four small corner notes and two stars set inside the composition.
Ideas for this font
Broad capitals with overlapping circles and waving cross-strokes
Casper Roomer is a broad capital serif in which the bowls are drawn as near-circles, the letters overlap at the joins and the cross-strokes wave slightly, so a word reads as a hand-cut display mark rather than as set type.

Fine high-fashion serif with a wide C and a low ribbon-like g loop
Cigaret is a fine high-fashion serif in which the C opens wide, the bowls round off against slender diagonals, the g drops into a low ribbon loop and the final t rises above the row, so a short name reads as a boutique label.

Tall high-contrast display serif
Sugari is a tall high-contrast display serif in cream on a low-lit portrait: very narrow stems, hairline joins, tall ascenders that overshoot the cap line, and letters set with almost no tracking so the word reads as a row of vertical strokes.
Heavy compact serif with angled stems, teardrop details and a long t bar
Kytie is a heavy compact serif in which the stems angle slightly, the bowls stay broad and close, the details finish in teardrops and the t crossbar runs long toward a tilted dot, so a name reads as a luxury magazine title.

Fine serif with sweeping extensions

High-contrast serif display with ligature flourish

Ideas for this font
Tall fine mixed case framed by long upper and lower sweeps
Band is a fine high-contrast mixed case in which a tall capital opens broad thin bowls, an upper stroke sweeps away from the final ascender and a lower curve leaves from the a, so a name reads as a swept editorial line.
Ideas for this font
Fine mixed case with crossing e strokes and overlapping round bowls
Creatoon sets pale high-contrast mixed case over a warm portrait, where the C opens a broad bowl, a long diagonal crosses the first e and the two o shapes overlap near the end of the word.

Ideas for this font
Heavy soft serif with rounded transitions and a warm weight
Konstan is a heavy serif in which the stems swell, the transitions round off and the serifs soften, so a single name reads as a warm printed label rather than as a sharp headline.
Ideas for this font
Elegant high-contrast serif with swash tail
Mellian is an elegant serif in gold on a dark portrait: high contrast stems, fine hairlines, a long swash that lifts off the l and curls above the word, and softened serifs, so the name reads as a fashion or fragrance mark rather than as an editorial serif.
Ideas for this font
Heavy contrasting mixed case with an i-dot stroke enclosing the ending
Geliga shows gold mixed case on a dark portrait: thick curved sides meet fine joins, the g closes a low enclosed bowl and a long thin curve grows from the i-dot area to wrap around the right end of the word.
Ideas for this font
Fine mixed case with overlapping round o bowls
Gloom shows pale high-contrast mixed case against a blurred monochrome scene: the G opens a large bowl, the tall l ends in a fine angled top and the two central o bowls overlap into an interlaced oval while the m stands apart.

Fine mixed-case lettering with paired g loops and a large upper curl
Anggun is a fine mixed-case serif in which the capital opens broad, the lowercase rounds, two g letters drop adjacent loops beneath the middle of the name and a large fine circular stroke rises above them, so a word reads as linked script lettering.
