Caxa Display specimen from Estúdio Caxa

Hard carved forms from Brazilian woodcut, with extended ligatures on every vowel.

About

Caxa Display is drawn from Brazilian and Latin American woodcut, and the studio cheerfully admits legibility was not the goal: it is meant to be set large and blocky. Every vowel has an extended ligature form. Free, today and always, in their words.

Classification

Free, distributed by a link on the studio's own page rather than a shop. All vowels carry extended ligature forms. The studio says its legibility is deliberately questionable, intending it for large blocky settings.

Languages

Latin
