Alternatives to Common Fonts
It’s a well-known joke among designers: Trajan is the go-to typeface for promoting new movies. Carol Twombly’s beautiful digitization of the classic Roman lettering is seen on countless posters, billboards and ads — usually for films in the dramatic blockbuster category.

For the sake of typographic diversity, we present other inscriptional serifs that offer something different than Trajan, such as a lowercase, a brush construction, or a wider range of weights and widths.
