Perpetua is a distinguished serif typeface designed in the 1920s by British sculptor and typographer Eric Gill for the Monotype Corporation. Belonging to the Serif category, its sub-category is Transitional Serif with Old-Style influences, recognized for its refined proportions, sharp serifs, and elegant calligraphic touches. Originally intended for book typography, Perpetua combines classical grace with modern readability, making it suitable for both body text and display purposes. The font family includes Roman, Italic (designed by Gill’s collaborator), Bold, and Bold Italic styles, providing versatility across editorial, academic, and branding applications. Perpetua is a proprietary Monotype typeface and requires a commercial license for professional use.
