A tall, narrow display face with flared stems, built for headlines, labels and money-themed layouts.
Empire Ledger is a tall, narrow display face with the mood of an old bank hall. Stems swell a little toward their ends and finish in small wedge feet, so each letter looks cut from a plate rather than drawn with a pen. Contrast stays low.
Look at the lowercase l. It carries a foot and reads almost like a small capital L, which gives words such as black and Balance an odd, stiff rhythm. Descenders on g, p and q drop long, and the capitals keep a strict vertical posture. Set it big. At 200 px the flared strokes carry the whole look, and at 30 px it still works for a short caption, though the wedges fade into plain stems at that size. Use it for banknote and certificate mockups, ledger-style menus, bank or spirits labels, book covers and narrow headline columns.
The font holds 94 glyphs: A to Z, a to z, figures 0 to 9 and basic punctuation with quotes, guillemets, parentheses and dashes. It covers English. There is one weight, Regular, delivered as OTF, TTF, WOFF and WOFF2.
