CA Capoli
Cape Arcona · Thomas Schostok
A two-style vintage script drawn from a 1950s Italian ceramic ashtray logo, intended for illustrative titles and logotypes.
About
Designed by Thomas Schostok after discovering the word 'Nido' inscribed on a ceramic ashtray in an Italian bar, CA Capoli reconstructs what a full typeface from that fragment might have looked like. It comes in Regular and Stroke variants, covering Western and Central European character sets, with stylistic alternates and sets offering additional letter choices. The family has a warm, mid-century Italian character that suits branding, packaging and display lettering.
Classification
The foundry classifies it as Script; it is a display script with a hand-lettered, vintage Italian quality, drawn from a 1950s ceramic logo inscription rather than formal calligraphic tradition.
