CA Edwald
Cape Arcona · Thomas Schostok, Stefan Claudius
A bold display serif by Thomas Schostok and Stefan Claudius, conceived as a hybrid of Cooper Black and Ed Benguiat's Benguiat, available in five weights with italics and a variable font.
About
Drawing explicitly from two heavyweight American display classics, CA Edwald combines the rounded warmth of Cooper Black with the ornamental character of Benguiat into a single 10-style family. Five weights run from Light to Black, each with a matching italic, and a variable font is included alongside a rich set of OpenType features including swashes, stylistic alternates and titling alternates. Suited to advertising headlines, packaging and logo work where a distinctive period-inflected weight is needed.
Classification
Cape Arcona classifies it as serif; the design is a bold display roman drawing on the rounded, heavy forms of Cooper Black and the decorative qualities of Benguiat, making it a display serif in character.
