Author's note

Top Modern, created by Galdino Otten in 2012, is a free display serif with broad, forceful proportions. Thick vertical strokes meet crisp, blocky serifs, and the rounded letters have a taut geometric structure. Its silhouette is unusually dense.

The sturdy shapes can echo architectural photography and hard-edged illustration in posters, music packaging, and event branding. In magazine design, the font is suited to cover lines and section openers, where its sharp details can connect typography with angular graphics.
