CA Uruguay
Cape Arcona · Thomas Schostok
An uppercase-only display face by Thomas Schostok, offered in two styles where the 'Light' variant substitutes ink traps for a reduced stroke weight.
About
Two styles make up CA Uruguay, both uppercase only and built for headline use. Rather than a conventional light-to-regular weight progression, the lighter style achieves its differentiation through an exaggerated double portion of ink traps, which at large sizes reads as an unusual and visually arresting texture. The foundry cites uses ranging from national football team branding to South American aircraft carrier lettering, suggesting a face suited to bold, institutional or sporting contexts.
Classification
Classified as Display by the foundry; an uppercase-only headline face with ink traps as a defining stylistic feature rather than a functional weight distinction, placing it firmly in the display category.
