New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone can name for me a typeface with bracketed serifs and even strokes (no thin/thicks)?
I can't seem to think of, or find any with these qualities, but there MUST be some (unless it breaks some kind of rule for non-slab-serif serif fonts to NOT have thick/thin strokes?)
...
AND (if anyone knows) - is there a SERIF typeface based on Gill Sans that is not Perpetua? (Again, perhaps one without the humanist strokes?)
Hope someone can help!
Thanks very much,
Samantha

There are quite a bit of slab serifs—newer ones, particularly—that has little stroke contrast: Officina, PMN Caecilia, Vista Slab, Centro Slab from Parachute Type, Manual Slab from Ole Schäfer, etc.
But monoline slab serif with bracket is rare. The only example I know is recent: Adelle by Type Together.

Serif Gothic’s flares are brilliant. Thanks, Stephen!
