CA Mystery Girl
Cape Arcona · Thomas Schostok
An all-caps distressed display typeface by Thomas Schostok that simulates the imperfections of silkscreen and letterpress printing through pseudo-random OpenType alternates.
About
Built on a sturdy all-caps structure, the family uses a randomised stylistic alternates feature to introduce the kind of subtle variation that letterpress and silkscreen printing produce by chance. Two styles, Regular and Italic, cover Western and Central European Latin encodings, making it usable across a wide range of European languages. At its best in headline and poster work where a handcrafted, printed quality is wanted without sacrificing legibility.
Classification
An all-caps distressed typeface classified by the foundry as Display Distressed, designed to evoke the textural irregularities of silkscreen and letterpress printing through randomised OpenType alternates.
