A display typeface inspired by the lettering of American women's suffrage campaigns, named after strategist and activist Carrie Chapman Catt.
About
Named after Carrie Chapman Catt, the suffragist who led the 1915 Fifth Avenue parade and steered the Nineteenth Amendment to ratification in 1920, this typeface draws on the visual language of early twentieth-century American political activism. Vocal Type's practice of grounding type designs in specific historical moments of social struggle gives Carrie a cultural weight beyond its letterforms. It suits editorial and campaign work where that historical reference is intentional.
Classification
The typeface is presented as a display face rooted in historical suffragist visual culture, likely drawing on period lettering from early twentieth-century American protest and political campaign materials.
