It looks like Rockwell, except for the curlies!

Maybe a stroked Archer Bold?

Thank you sooooo much, your awesomeness!!!

:-D

Archer.

Could you cut out the ASAP!!!-stuff, please.
Everbody gets served around here.

I’m sorry, I’m in the middle of my workday and need to have this proofed out by 4.

Stroked? I think it’s Bold SC.

You’re right; I was sloppy because I knew I had to be fast to beat your answer!

:-)

@ Barbara
I just saw that you’re new to Typophile.
Welcome.
Please use a descriptive title next time! Thank you.
Good title would have been “onStage, slab serif with ball terminals”.

‘Good title would have been “onStage, slab serif with ball terminals”.’

someone new to this forum (or serious typography in general)
might not be au fait with the jargon…

What can we do? Typography is just that sexy. ;-)

Regarding terminology – I think “curlies” is much cuter than “ball terminals”.
I might just adapt that :)

The girls may call ’em curlies.
The guys (or the cheeky) call ’em ball terminals.

But then it depends on the gender of the object too, not just the subject: I think Archer is much more “curly” than “ballsy”. I mean Archer is a girl. Miller is a guy.
:-)

Of course Archer is a girl. The goal was to create a feminine slab serif, which is a contradiction in itself. Since the good people at H&FJ did it, it was a success nonetheless, if only by adding curlies to make sure. ;-)

“a feminine slab serif, which is a contradiction in itself”
Interesting – do you really think so?
In my book, “feminine” doesn’t *need* to mean slender, swirly, gracious and elegant.

Ooohhhh, OK. It took me a while to recognize where you’re heading.
Say, did I see any weights other than the regular of Ernestine yet?

In my book, “feminine” doesn’t *need* to mean...
Maybe not in yours especially, but in general it does.
Just search for *feminine* or *girl* at MyFonts.
Agreed, there is certainly more to the feminine side of Archer than the *curlies*. But isn’t Archer such an unusual slab because it looks so... feminine?

Thanks for the elaboration! I was just curious.

“Say, did I see…”
Soon. :-)
