Author's note

Respess Capitals, from l'Abécédarienne, is a free eroded caps display font with the feel of distressed old printing. The letters pair sturdy serif shapes with chipped edges, ragged notches, and a slightly battered rhythm that makes the alphabet feel ink-worn rather than neatly drawn.

That weathered voice works well for book covers, poster titles, period-themed branding, packaging, and editorial cover lines where a little age helps set the mood. As a free font, it also suits title cards, drop caps, and monograms, since the broken outline gives short words and single letters enough character to carry a layout on their own.
