About

Rooted in the tradition of nineteenth-century fat Clarendons, CA Cape Rock brings bold, bracketed serifs and a heavy silhouette to display work. Two styles, Regular and Italic, are supported by discretionary ligatures, contextual alternates, swashes and stylistic sets, giving designers room to vary the texture of a headline or logotype. Coverage spans Western and Central European encodings, with 430 glyphs per style.
