CA No Dr. specimen from Cape Arcona

A geometric sans family drawn from the lettering on the 1962 James Bond: Dr. No poster, extended into a ten-style family with two widths and two weights.

About

Designed by Thomas Schostok, the family takes its cue from the original hand-lettered Dr. No title treatment and develops it into a functional range of ten styles. Two widths, standard and expanded, each carry Regular and Medium weights with matching italics, plus two additional cuts named Alarm and Tall for more expressive use. The foundry intended it as an alternative to DIN Schrift, though it has grown into a distinct family suited to headlines and capable of body text.

Classification

Classified by the foundry as sans serif; drawn from a 1962 James Bond poster lettering, the design has a squared, constructed character with DIN-adjacent geometry and two widths that reinforce its geometric sans credentials.
