Greek Font Inspired by Roman Column
Greek type foundry Parachute has released Monumenta Pro, a titling face influenced by Trajan (the column, not necessarily the typeface). The letters are based on Roman and Greek characters carved on stone.
Monumenta’s Normal and Shaded styles are designed to have serifs with a finer thinning. The Metallic style is bolder and simulates in the most realistic way three-dimensional metallic lettering. As a set, they cost $185.
Monumenta includes alternate characters placed at lowercase positions as well as a few stylistic alternates, which are accessed through the OpenType features.
