CA Kometo
Cape Arcona · Thomas Schostok
A two-style layered headline face designed for stacking a shadow style over a fill style to create a retro, comic-book-inflected effect.
About
Built around two complementary styles, Regular (the shadow) and Fill, CA Kometo is intended to be used in layers, with the Fill placed beneath the Regular at a slight offset to generate a drop-shadow effect. The face carries an overtly playful, superhero-referencing personality suited to posters, packaging and bold editorial moments. Spacing and kerning are optimised for the stacked configuration rather than standalone text use. Coverage extends to Western and Central European Latin encodings across 344 glyphs.
Classification
Classified as Display by the foundry; a two-style headline face built around a shadow-and-fill stacking concept, designed for expressive, decorative use rather than text setting.
