Caribbean Island Font
Author's note
Caribbean Island is a free pirate-movie display font with the rough swagger of old adventure posters. The letters mix heavy, weathered serifs with curling, cutlass-like flourishes, so the overall feel is theatrical and a little unruly rather than neatly vintage.
It fits poster titles, book covers, themed packaging, party invites, and title cards where a bit of seafaring drama helps set the scene. As a free font, it also works well for short headlines or monograms, because those hooked strokes and battered edges give even a few letters the feel of a treasure-map heading.

Description
This remarkable typeface first appeared in 1932 in The Times of London newspaper, for which it was designed. It has subsequently become one of the worlds most successful type creations. The original drawings were made under Stanley Morison's direction by Victor Lardent at The Times. It then went through an extensive iterative process involving further work in Monotype's Type Drawing Office. Based on experiments Morison had conducted using Perpetua and Plantin, it has many old style characteristics but was adapted to give excellent legibility coupled with good economy. Widely used in books and magazines, for reports, office documents and also for display and advertising.
