CA Yoshiro

The inspiration for CA YOSHIRO was planted by a recurring theme in the world of military, action, and sci-fi films and series. It’s no secret that these genres have long been associated with iconic typefaces such as Eurostile (1962) and Microgramma (1952). While these fonts have left an indelible mark on the industry, they’re not without their shortcomings.

One persistent problem we observed was the distortion of these fonts to achieve desired sizes. Stretching and compressing fonts, while sometimes a practical necessity, often resulted in compromised design quality. It was clear that a modern alternative was needed. One that could stand up to its predecessors and offer a solution to these design pitfalls.

Our mission was clear: to create a typeface that would offer versatility through a variety of letter widths that were defined by different styles. This led to the introduction of a variable font—a game-changer. Designers can now take control and adjust the thickness and width as needed to correct past design missteps. Inspiration came from a commitment to continuity. We made sure that CA YOSHIRO’s maximum width has been adapted to the Eurostile Extended, preserving the established typographic essence of movies, series and games in these genres.

From a design perspective, we wanted a typeface that would embrace the future while remaining adaptable for a variety of applications. The result? A type family that spans the spectrum from futuristic to timeless. It includes extended styles for a sci-fi flair and normalized styles that excel even in body text. Designers now have a versatile tool for expressing their creative vision and creating typography that sets new standards, not just for one project, but for many to come.

Combining elegance with code: The perfect blend of monospace and legibility!

In addition, our family has subtle similarities to the monospace fonts commonly used on computer displays and screens. These fonts are the foundation of written programming code and sequences, lending a distinctive character to the digital realm.

But here’s the twist: While our family is inspired by monospace fonts, it is not limited to monospacing. It stands out as a non-monospaced typeface designed for superior legibility and aesthetics. This fusion of influences creates a typeface that bridges the gap between the digital and cinematic worlds, giving you an unparalleled, legible, and compelling typeface for your projects.
