Custom typefaces

A custom type is not a compromise, it is made exactly to your needs.

Say Goodbye to Ongoing Font Licensing Fees — Welcome to Cost-Efficient Custom Typography
Stop paying for the same font every year. We craft bespoke typefaces that match your vision — with no recurring license fees. Perfect for design agencies, creative directors, and brand teams who want full control, total flexibility, and serious long-term savings.

Custom Fonts. One-Time Fee. Endless Creative Freedom.

Tired of recurring font licensing costs draining your design budget? At Capital Type, a division of the Cape Arcona Type Foundry, we specialize in crafting custom fonts tailored to your brand’s visual identity — with a pricing model that makes sense.


Why Custom Type Matters

You see type before you read it — that’s why typography shapes brand perception instantly. Corporate design takes advantage of this, but most brands rely on generic fonts from the same limited pool. To stand out, you need a font that’s made just for you.

A custom typeface isn’t a compromise — it’s built precisely to your brand’s needs.

The Benefits Go Beyond Aesthetics:

  • Cost-Efficient: Save significantly on licensing, especially for large or unlimited usage.
  • Global-Ready: Full language support and custom glyphs tailored to your markets.
  • Feature-Rich: Built-in functionality to match your exact use cases — print, web, app, or more.

 

At Cape Arcona, we specialize in creating distinctive custom fonts for brands and organizations — typefaces that express identity, solve technical challenges, and eliminate recurring costs.
