This paper presents an analytical research about the typefaces printed in some pages of Revista de Pernambuco’s editions from 1926. The research aimed to identify the typefaces, relating them to their historic context and tracking their origins in specimens of national and international foundries operating in the early twentieth century. By using comparative analytical methods between the magazine’s typefaces and the specimens’ ones it was possible to identify some designs from Funtimod, the largest Brazilian type foundry from the twentieth century, and to point out the need for studies about types commercialized in Brazil.
