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, based in Mülheim/Essen in Germany’s Ruhrgebiet, we specialize in creating distinctive custom fonts for brands and organizations — typefaces that express identity, solve technical challenges, and eliminate recurring costs.
