Introduction Normal Serif a typeface by stefan claudius About the typeface CA Normal Serif is the perfect companion to its grotesque brother CA Normal. But it is not just a serifed equivalent. It has a character of its own while preserving the principal proportions and the idea of quirkyness. It was not the aim to build a typeface that can immediately be identified as a relative of CA Normal. The intention was to create a matching typeface in aspects of aesthetic and concept. Whereas commonly serif-companions to grotesques are oldstyle or slab-serif, CA Normal Serif is situated between modern and slab-serif typefaces. This kind of fonts is not too popular at the moment, but maybe it will be in a few years, who knows? In the meanwhile: Trust your taste. CA Normal Serif is a little bit of an uncomfortable typeface. Nothing is smooth and cozy. It picks up elements of classic newspaper type as brought to us by Chauncey H. Griffith s legibility group, sharing the flavour of abrasive details and slabbish serifs. But the proportions are more condensed than the ones of its predecessors giving it a bit more elegance, which moves it closer to the aesthetic of scotch romans. About the designer After studies at the universities of Wuppertal and Essen, Stefan Claudius started font-design in the late 90s. Together with Thomas Schostok, he founded the Cape Arcona Type Foundry in 2002, a fast growing alternative type-foundry with the mission to bring back fun to the business. Quality typefaces with an un conventional look are their recipe for success. Today Stefan Claudius lives in Essen (Ger many), taught and teaches type-design at the HFBK in Hamburg, the Folkwang Hoch schule in Essen and typo graphy and conceptual design at the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund. details on page 2 Normal Serif looks like a condensed newspaper-type at first glance, but in combination with small caps and the italic it shows a lot of sophisticated details. 3

Blind Copy italic The beautifully drawn italic has a very individual style and a couple of stunning details. Although it follows the scotch roman tradition, it looks a bit less well-behaved. a a d d f f g g k k n n v v z z 5 5 regular (16/20 pt) A man without love s only half of a man.

Weights boldness The weight evolve continually from Regular to Extrabold and are individually shaped to meet the needs of the respective weight. According to size and matter of text, Regular, Medium and Semibold are suitable for greater amounts of text. These three weights are pretty close to each other in order to give the typographer a maximal flexibility when choosing the right weight for his purpose. regular (16 pt) A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z My help squeezed in and joined the weavers again before six o clock.
