Analyze: The type above is an example of a serif typeface. The "P" and the last "E" are capitals while the rest of the letters are small caps. The serifs are bracketed. There is variation between thick and thin strokes, which can be seen most clearly on the "A". The shoulder of the "P" does not quite touch the main stroke creating an aperture rather than a counter.
Classify: Display, Serif, Small Caps
Define: I think the typeface communicates stateliness and luxuriousness.
Comment: I found this specimen on the parking garage of a building of upscale condos called The Peachtree. I like this typeface and I think it is unique that the first and last letters are capitals while the middle ones are small caps. I think it is a little hard to read due to the large "P" that has been placed over it, but I do think it fits the establishment well because the building appeared to house elegant, luxurious condos and its outside has beautiful embellishments.
