Desphalia belongs to the kind of sans serif fonts that were created in the 19th century. You could also name it “American Gothic”, a sans serif in the style of fonts like Franklin Gothic, News Gothic and similar. 
Above all, the high x-height characterizes this typeface style, as do the identical heights of uppercase and ascenders.
