Coronation is an elegant semi-formal “ribbon” font based on the Coronet script designed by Robert Middleton released by the Ludlow Type Foundry in 1937.
The small proportions of the lowercase letters are part of the elegance implied by the name and work best at medium or large point sizes, such as short blocks of display copy or headlines. The face has a soft, comfortable quality that lends itself to a wide range of applications, from invitations to bubble bath packaging.
