Trash, trash, trash, I’m hun­gry. It’s the end of the week and what would fit bet­ter than a won­der­ful trash type­face to play with, the whole week­end long? So, take CA Mis­fit made by our lovely Ste­fanie Koerner. It’s such a nice type­face and it’s free, kids!

Nor­mally we don’t win any­thing, cause we nor­mally don’t par­tic­i­pate in com­pe­ti­tions. But this time… it just hap­pened you know. And well we can’t deny to feel hon­ored, at least a bit.
Tex­teron is a clever six weight text-font by Ste­fan Claudius and for the moment you can only buy it at Veer. But as soon as we are allowed to, we will offer it here, at the place of it’s birth.

Some rules in life are sim­ple. If you had a good drink: go and get another one. For type sym­posia it’s basi­cally the same. In 2006 33pt was pretty cool, so here is the next one: 33pt. Eska­pade. Cape Arconas Pres­i­dent, Ste­fan Claudius, helps plan­ning and orga­niz­ing this event with a group of stu­dents and pro­fes­sor Sabine an Huef. The list of speak­ers is impres­sive. Mar­tin Majoor, Rob Meek, Phil Baines, David Crow and ‘Type radio’ to name just a few. For more infor­ma­tion, a time sched­ule and a com­plete list of the ref­er­ents with back­ground info and loads of funny movies, got to www.33pt.de.
The whole thing starts on fri­day 3rd of april at the Fach­hochschule Dort­mund in Ger­many and lasts till sat­ur­day. Cape Arconas Pres­i­dent will be there and maybe our King too. Hope to meet you for a drink, or not.

Watch our new CAPE TV (in fact, it’s rather old) to become part of the spirit of the Cape Arcona Type Foundry. In the actual episode we are hav­ing a press con­fer­ence and tell you every­thing about the revamp of the Cape web­site. Fur­ther you will learn about our “Dec­la­ra­tion of Nor­mal­ity”. The entire press con­fer­ence is hold in our native lan­guage “Arkon­ish”. But don’t be afraid, we have eng­lish sub­ti­tles.
Watch it!

A type­face like a road movie. Cre­ated back in 2000, CA Tex­as­Fu­neral now fea­tures an exten­sive char­ac­ter set (371 glyphs) and Open­Type fea­ture sup­port. And all for free, baby. Killya!

Ah, we all know about the “new” web­font tech­nol­ogy. So we released a type­face for exclu­sive use for web­sites. CA BND Bold Web is based upon our favorite CA BND and it is free for all com­mer­cial and non-commercial WEB uses. Yes, free. Well, it only works in web browser who sup­port the @font-face embed­ding. Okay, enough technobubble.

There is always some mad­ness in love.
But there is also always some rea­son in madness.

You don’t have to read this. This text does not con­tain any wor­thy infor­ma­tion. It is only about another free font. Like there are zil­lions out there. So we thought, we might as well put out another, it wouldn’t make a dif­fer­ence. It’s derived from Friedrich Niet­zsches type­writer, the first of its kind to be pro­duced in series.

Dear friends of hacked off ser­ifs, here comes your new buddy: Cape Rock. We guess you saw this font a few times already (on our T-Shirts for exam­ple) and always won­dered where to buy it. Well we took our time to improve this font and to add a whole bunch of enter­tain­ing lig­a­tures. And then it went through the mer­ci­less Cape Arcona National Font Test Cen­tre (NFTC). That took a lot of time. You will love it!
