They carry more typefaces from more foundries than anyone else, and their simplet yet brilliant site lets you see any font they carry in the words of your choice--there's no better way to see if a face is going to work for you. Their comprehensive printed catalog costs $39 and is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to know which typeface is which.

Since it was only avail­able as an old Mac PS1 font, we finally con­verted the type­face fam­ily into the Open­Type for­mat. Don­ald revised the whole fam­ily and per­formed some care­ful mod­i­fi­ca­tion to each char­ac­ter. The let­ters are now more open and the kern­ing was opti­mized. Hurray! April 3, 2014 Добрый день! April 2, 2014 We are proud to present a won­der­ful new type­face family. We have a Reg­u­lar and a “Cape Arcona old school” Raw style — just in case you want the full experience.

The CA Recape Fam­ily is avail­able at a reduced intro­duc­tory price until 7th of Feb­ru­ary. We are also work­ing on some other styles for release in the near future.
