Analyze: This type is an example of a serif typeface and the serifs are bracketed. There is definite variation in line weight between thicks and thins which leads me to believe it is a Humanist Serif. There is wide spacing between each of the letterforms and the letters are all caps.
Classify: Display, Serif, Humanist
Define: I think the wide spacing between the letters, the fact that it is in all caps, and the strong bracketed serifs communicate seriousness and refinement.
Comment: This specimen comes from a wall in front of the Fed. I think it serves its purpose because it communicates the seriousness of the business that goes on inside of the Fed.
