MarcelCaps Font
Author's note
MarcelCaps, credited to August Will in 1891 and Claude of Character in 2007, is a free angular display font built from long vertical strokes and sharp diagonals. Crossing lines give the narrow letters a skeletal, architectural look.
Posters are its strongest setting, especially for experimental music and gallery events, where the stretched forms can become part of the graphic rather than ordinary type. Event graphics and album packaging also fit this approach, and on magazine covers the border-like strokes can connect a masthead with precise linear illustration.
