About

CA Gothique is a Superfat-weight display sans by Stefan Claudius, designed to occupy a midpoint between American wood-type gothics and European grotesques. Despite offering only one weight, it punches well above its station through typographic utility: small caps, small caps numerals, four number formats and a Central European character set across 612 glyphs make it usable beyond pure headline work. The foundry classifies it as Display Sans Serif, and its single style keeps the proposition simple and deliberate.

Classification

Classified by the foundry as Display Sans Serif; positioned aesthetically between American Gothics and European Grotesques, with a single ultra-heavy weight intended for headline use.
