Banking Typography

Australia's $50 Note

In addition to Australia's local flavor typography, which is especially highlighted in Sydney, Australia has a very interested money system that incorporates multiple typefaces on its notes. Banking typography is reflected because all typefaces that are seen on the notes are professional and regal-looking; however sans-serif and serif fonts are combined, making a unique typographic style. "Australia" is written on a vertical baseline (?) and is in cursive, "Fifty Dollars" is written in a serif font in all caps, and there are also elements of handwritten typography shown on the right side of the note, as well as the sans-serif "50" in the upper right corner.
