CA Slalom
Cape Arcona · Stefan Claudius
A 42-style humanist sans by Stefan Claudius spanning four widths, drawn from the spirit of Gill Sans and Antique Olive with a distinctively rounded, restrained character.
About
Designed by Stefan Claudius, CA Slalom spans four widths — Compressed, Condensed, Normal and Extended — each sharing the same underlying design logic across six weights with matching italics, plus a variable font. Its defining traits are rounded forms, deeply tucked stroke-ends and a slightly lower x-height than expected, details that accumulate into a recognisable personality without shouting. The family covers Latin Extended and Cyrillic encodings and ships with a thorough OpenType feature set including multiple figure styles and stylistic sets.
Classification
Cape Arcona classifies it as sans serif; its rounded forms, deep stroke-end cuts and references to Gill Sans and Antique Olive place it firmly in the humanist sans tradition with a contemporary inflection.
