Shady Cave specimen from KrakenBox

A single-weight decorative display face by Yahdi Kumala, released in 2020 with a minimal Latin glyph set of 101 characters.

About

Shady Cave offers a basic Latin character set covering uppercase, lowercase, numerals and punctuation, with no additional weights, widths or italics. Its intended use is clearly headline or display-scale typography, where its novelty character can be used without the demands of extended text setting. The limited scope makes it unsuitable for body copy or multilingual work.

Classification

A single-weight decorative display face with a hand-crafted, cave-painting or rough-textured aesthetic implied by its name. The minimal glyph set and single weight confirm its use as a headline or novelty display font.
